Latest news and updates about the Lions
It’s been a rough week. A week ago, the Detroit Lions required last-minute heroics by Jahmyr Gibbs and company to beat a 2-10 New York Giants team. That uninspiring performance led many to believe that the Lions are nowhere near where they need to be to make a playoff run this year. Those fears were […]
Hi everybody! You may have seen this reel by Amik Robertson after the Green Bay Packers’ second easy victory of the season over the Detroit Lions. It reminds me of something you occasionally see fans do when their team is an underdog, and leading against a favorite: Chanting “Overrated!” It’s a terrible troll in that […]
From the initial eye-test, it certainly seemed like the Detroit Lions didn’t generate enough pressure on Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love on Thanksgiving. Per NFL Pro, Love had an average of 3.09 seconds to throw—the third-most time he’s had all season. Love used that time to dice up the Lions’ defense for completions on […]
The Dallas Cowboys are on a three-game winning streak after beating the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving. Their next game is against the Detroit Lions next Thursday, and according to team owner Jerry Jones, one of their veteran defensive players will be back on the field barring a setback. That guy is cornerback Trevon Diggs. […]
The New England Patriots added a veteran to the ground game entering the weekend. The organization announced the signing of running back Craig Reynolds to the practice squad on Friday, as Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 reported. Reynolds, 29, spent the past five years with the Detroit Lions and became a free agent after clearing […]
If you look at the overall Team Stats for this game at Pro Football Reference, it tells an accurate story of this being an extremely close game. The difference? The Green Bay Packers were 3-for-3 when going for it on 4th down, while the Detroit Lions were 0-2. Today, we’re just going to take a […]
Maybe you’ve had enough football for this Thanksgiving weekend. Maybe you’re a football junkie like me. Either way, we’re here for you on this Black Friday. This year features a huge matchup for NFC playoff implications, and it obviously matters a lot to a 7-5 Detroit Lions team that is in some desperate need of […]
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks has had some really good games over his up-and-down three-year NFL career. However, Thursday’s game against the Detroit Lions looked like his most complete performance as a pro, and signaled that he could become a true star at the position if he can build on that kind of […]
Another year, another Thanksgiving Day win for quarterback Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers. The team traveled to Detroit to face off against the Lions in their 23rd Thanksgiving matchup against the team, and 193rd overall meeting. The game was a close one, with both teams having nearly identical stats in all areas except […]
The Detroit Lions (7-5) dropped another close game in Week 13, falling to the Packers (8-4-1) for the second time this season. The Lions were dealing with a multitude of injuries, while also returning players from injury lists and signing/elevating several practice squad players to fill the voids. Let’s take a look at how the […]
Stop me if you’ve heard this before – the Dallas Cowboys are underdogs in their game this week. For the third straight week, Dallas are dogs. First it was against the Philadelphia Eagles when the Cowboys opened as 3.5 point underdogs. We all know how that turned out. Then the played the Kansas City Chiefs […]
Earlier this week, the Detroit Lions waived veteran running back Craig Reynolds in order to make room for a series of roster moves—including the return of Marcus Davenport and Miles Frazier from injury lists. Reynolds cleared waivers on Thursday, but it appears he is heading to a new team’s practice squad. According to NFL insider […]
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Detroit Lions have gotten relatively good news when it comes to the health of wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Per Pelissero, St. Brown is believed to have suffered a low-ankle sprain, which is better than the alternative of a high-ankle sprain. He later added that St. Brown is […]

No intro necessary. Let’s just get into the grades for the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving. Quarterback: B+ I was not prepared for a shootout between the two teams, but Jared Goff was. On a day of solid quarterbacking from both teams, Goff was matching Jordan Love with big throw […]
Thanksgiving is a great holiday. You eat lots of food, are surrounded by loved ones, and the best part is, there is Detroit Lions football on TV. That last part is only enjoyable if the outcome is a good one, and it wasn’t this year. After defeating the Chicago Bears last season, ending a seven-year […]
The Lions take the gridiron for their final regular season game on the road against Rutgers, both teams needing a win for bowl eligibility. How does the staff see this one playing out? Chris Penn State is a team resurgent following wins against Michigan State and Nebraska. After 6 straight losses in the middle of […]
The Green Bay Packers won on Thanksgiving, toppling the Detroit Lions. That doesn’t change their NFC playoff picture placement at all and they remain in sixth, but they are poised to move up this weekend. If the Chicago Bears lose to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, the Packers move into first place in the division. […]
Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell is facing a lot of criticism following his team’s 31-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers. In particular, Campbell is under heat for continuing to go for it on fourth down, passing up another field goal late in the game. Additionally, some believe the Lions offense didn’t show enough urgency […]
In a pivotal NFC North tilt on Thanksgiving Day, the Detroit Lions fell flat and it could have dire consequences down the stretch. It was sadly more of the same from the Lions: a few splash plays on offense with too many defensive lapses mixed in. Detroit is officially running out of games to turn […]
The Green Bay Packers have swept the Detroit Lions, and finished the sweep in a nationally televised game in their own building. I’m consuming as much Lions cope as possible (please share when you find new cope), but it’s also worth looking internally at what the Packers did to earn this Week 13 win. So […]
Jordan Love is at his best on Thanksgiving Day. Playing on the holiday for the third straight year — each year he has been the Green Bay Packers’ starting quarterback — Love delivered a third consecutive tremendous performance. Against the Detroit Lions on Thursday afternoon, Love threw for four touchdowns and completed a critical 4th-down […]
In the fourth quarter of the Green Bay Packers’ Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions, on a Micah Parsons sack, Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt went down with an ankle injury. It did not look good. I’m no doctor, but it sure looks like Wyatt’s ankle snapped under the weight of friendly fire from teammate […]

Happy Thanksgiving to you if you are a Rams fan. What are you making and/or eating today? While you’re at it, what do you think about the three games today? I see some former Rams there in Detroit with the Lions playing the Packers in the morning. Will Jared Goff help keep the Lions in […]
