Joey Porter Jr. trade: Dallas Cowboys, not Detroit Lions, acquire Steelers CB
The Detroit Lions were reportedly interested in trading for Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr., but they lost out to the Dallas Cowboys. Late on Wednesday night, it was reported that the Cowboys are sending a 2027 sixth-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick for the disgruntled cornerback. At this point, it isn’t clear if […]
Lions coach Tashard Choice pushing Jahmyr Gibbs vs. Bijan Robinson competition
Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson are linked by many factors. The two were selected four picks apart in the 2023 NFL Draft, with Robinson going eighth overall and Gibbs going 12th. They were also linked by contract negotiations this offseason, with Robinson blinking first. He received a three-year, $66.75 million contract with Atlanta, and Gibbs […]
Lions, Panthers injury report: 2 defensive starters added to Week 4 injury list
The Detroit Lions (2-1) will take on the Carolina Panthers (1-2) on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 4, and while the Lions were on the practice field, the Panthers held a walkthrough. The Lions have only a handful of names on this week’s initial injury list—including two new additions—but the Panthers are dealing with several […]
Lions coach Dan Campbell weighs in on reviewable pass interference
It seems like every week in the NFL, there’s a game that is heavily impacted by a controversial pass interference call. This past week, the Los Angeles Rams fell victim to a controversial call against the Denver Broncos. Rams cornerback Josh Wallace intercepted a Bo Nix pass in the red zone with just over a […]
5 Lions vs. Panthers thoughts after watching Carolina’s loss to Browns
To begin my scouting of the Detroit Lions’ next opponent, I like to watch their most recent game played. For the Carolina Panthers, that means checking in on their 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. I took notes during the game, and here are my five biggest takeaways on what it may […]
Jared Goff clears up ‘controversy’ about Ben Johnson’s mobility comment
There was a very mild controversy involving the Detroit Lions following the Chicago Bears’ win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Bears coach Ben Johnson was asked about the night of third-string quarterback Case Keenum, and how to coach a game with a much different skill set than their normal quarterback Caleb Williams. “I’ve […]
Lions mailbag: What’s with Jack Campbell’s slow start?
A lot of the Detroit Lions’ struggles on defense were predictable from the start. Many correctly pointed out concerns with the Lions’ cornerback room after the team failed to add significant talent this offseason and lost the promise of young cornerback Terrion Arnold. Missing their two top, Pro Bowl safeties was going to hurt, even […]
Detroit Lions scouting report: Can the Carolina Panthers offense be contained?
Back under the lights, the Detroit Lions hit the road for “Sunday Night Football” as they take on the defending NFC South champion Carolina Panthers. This’ll be Detroit’s second of four primetime games this season, and it won’t be a pushover. Despite their 1-2 record, the Panthers are an improved football team. So far, their […]
Survey: Will the Lions beat the Panthers in Week 4?
Throughout the offseason, SB Nation will host NFL fan surveys, sponsored by FanDuel Sportsbook. For Pride of Detroit, we are tasked with fielding questions from Detroit Lions fans, and as we head into Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season, we have two questions for fans this week: After returning to their winning ways by […]
Graham Glasgow among several former Detroit Lions who earned tryouts on Tuesday
Tuesday’s NFL transaction list featured a lot of familiar names and an interesting tryout for the Detroit Lions. To begin with, two former Lions centers earned a tryout for the Baltimore Ravens: Graham Glasgow and Kingsley Eguakun. Glasgow is a 10-year veteran who started 14 games for the Lions at center last year, but Detroit […]
NFL Week 4 power rankings: Confidence in Jared Goff has Detroit Lions on the rise
In Week 3, the Detroit Lions (2-1) took on a New York Jets team that was sporting one of the best defenses in the NFL to start the 2026 season. After landing near the top of most defensive statistical categories, the Jets looked like a much bigger challenge than the Lions had faced. Yet, when […]
Lions vs. Jets Song of the Game: ‘Dashboard’ by Modest Mouse
After a brief hiatus, “Song of the Game” has returned, back by popular demand of our Editor in Chief and Sticktator, Jeremy Reisman. While I’ve been absolutely swamped between work, writing/editing, podcasting, being a husband and a parent, the next half hour I’ll spend writing this is a welcome break of such serious bellyaching about […]
Detroit Lions facing crossroads with Cade Mays, Juice Scruggs
Through three weeks of the season, Detroit Lions backup center Juice Scruggs has been one of the better NFL players at the pivot. Scruggs’ PFF grade of 71.5 current ranks fourth among all NFL centers, and Scruggs ability to be a force in the run game (78.7 run defense grade, second-best) has helped Detroit regain […]
Joey Porter Jr. trade: Weighing the pros, cons of Detroit Lions making the move
Rumors have been swirling for weeks, but the Joey Porter Jr. trade speculation peaked on Sunday when several national reporters said the Detroit Lions were among a “handful of teams” who have reached out to the Pittsburgh Steelers inquiring about the availability of the 26-year-old cornerback. Per the same reports, the Steelers are open to […]
Discussion: Rank the NFC North after 3 weeks of the 2026 season
We’re three weeks in the 2026 NFL season, and we’re starting to figure out a lot about teams. Though sample sizes are still pretty small, and it’s hard to fully judge a team when we don’t really know too much about the opponents they’ve played. So any sort of sweeping judgments should be avoided. But… […]
2 Detroit Lions defenders who earned more playing time, per Dan Campbell
The Detroit Lions made a handful of personnel changes for their Week 3 game against the New York Jets, and a pair of them earned more playing time moving forward after putting up strong performances. Lions coach Dan Campbell spoke to the media on Monday morning following his re-watch of the team’s 31-24 victory over […]
Detroit Lions stock report: 19 risers, 7 fallers against the Jets
Much like their Week 1 win against the New Orleans Saints, the Lions started the second half strong before allowing the fourth quarter to become far too close for comfort. Similarly, the defense was largely responsible for allowing explosive passing plays that fueled the Jets’ comeback efforts, but it delivered a clutch play when it […]
The secondary is bad, but the Detroit Lions are not
The Detroit Lions are 2-1, adding to their win column after knocking off an up-and-coming New York Jets team. But if you check the temperature of the more reactionary corners of the fanbase, they’re unimpressed and uninspired. After the shortcomings on defense snowballed—yet again—in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game, those unimpressed feel little confidence […]
Panthers could be down 2 key defensive backs vs. Lions
The Detroit Lions are entering Week 4 as three-point favorites over the Carolina Panthers in their Sunday night showdown, but some injury news from Monday could see that line shift (note: it’s already jumped to 3.5). According to NFL reporter Tom Pelissero, the Panthers’ No. 1 cornerback Jaycee Horn is out indefinitely after suffering a […]
Detroit Lions Week 3 snap counts: Breaking down defensive changes vs. Jets
After starting the season 1-1 with glaring holes in defensive execution, the Detroit Lions made some significant changes to their personnel, some of which helped them get back on track, leading to a 31-24 win over the New York Jets in Week 3. Let’s look at the snap counts from this game and see what […]
Lions vs. Jets reactions: Did Detroit show enough improvement on defense?
Both of the Detroit Lions’ wins can certainly be categorized as “ugly wins.” Against both the New Orleans Saints and New York Jets, Detroit blew two-score leads. Both opponents—despite very little early-game success—were able to tie the game up late, and it required Detroit’s offense to take control of the game and the Lions’ defense […]
Detroit Lions grades: Week 3 report card vs. Jets
The Detroit Lions showed incremental improvement in their Sunday afternoon win over the New York Jets. Do they look like some obvious Super Bowl contender through three games? No, there’s far too much work to do on defense. But if they can continue trending in the right direction over the next couple of months, who […]
Film breakdown: How Detroit Lions’ defense set up game-winning play vs. Jets
The Detroit Lions defense answered the call against the New York Jets when it mattered most. In a hard-fought battle against Aaron Glenn’s ascending program, Kelvin Sheppard’s defense showed signs of improvement after a rough subsequent six quarters of football. Was the performance perfect? No. But what the defense showed was closer to the commitments […]
Discussion: Do you feel better or worse after the Detroit Lions’ win over the New York Jets?
A week after getting drubbed by the Buffalo Bills, the Detroit Lions had a potential palate cleanser in the form of the New York Jets. However, it was never going to be a cakewalk and the Lions knew that. Head coach Dan Campbell predicted a brawl against Aaron Glenn and company, and that proved true […]
4 takeaways from Detroit Lions’ 31-24 win against New York Jets
When your favorite football team takes an extended break, the wait to see them hit the field feels like forever. It feels even longer when they lose in an embarrassing fashion. After 10 long days, the Detroit Lions returned to the field, looking to get back in the win column against the New York Jets. […]
