Former Detroit Lions linebacker Troy Reeder is signing with the New York Jets’ active roster ahead of the Week 3 matchup.
The biggest storyline of the Bills’ season so far has been the offense’s explosive start, and deservedly so. However, two players on the defense have flown under a lot of people’s radar. Against the Houston Texans and Detroit Lions, Deone Walker and Greg Rousseau stepped up when the team needed them most. It’s easy to […] The post The Bills’ Pass Rush Finally Has Its Duo appeared first on The Lead .
Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard has recently come under fire after the team’s poor defensive start.

With a long layoff ahead of him and Jahmyr Gibbs' usage through the roof, the Detroit Lions must regret signing Isiah Pacheco in the first place.
The Detroit Lions defense has been the focal point of criticism after surrendering 30 and 41 points, respectively, in their first two games against the New Orleans Saints and the Buffalo Bills. While, overall, the offense has performed well averaging 31 points per game, there is still plenty left to be desired on that side […]
“Back to business” and “R&R—Redemption & Respect”—two of the Detroit Lions’ biggest mantras this offseason—remain all talk. Two games is an incredibly small sample size, and a short-road game serving as a stadium opener was far from ideal, but nothing about the start of the 2026 season has resembled the stretch from the second half […]
The Buffalo Bills surrendered over thirty points for the second straight game, allowing the Detroit Lions to score 31 in what was an entertaining 41-31 victory to open new Highmark Stadium in style. That 31-point result from the defense followed a similar outing from four days prior, as the Bills’ stop unit allowed 31 points […]
