A Detroit Lions blog by Lions fans, for Lions fans.
The Detroit Lions’ defense has been a hot topic of discussion this offseason. After a 2025 season that saw Detroit’s defense collapse down the stretch, we knew some changes were coming. That didn’t come in the form of any coaching changes on that side of the ball, and they didn’t make any huge signings either. […]

According to a report from NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, the Detroit Lions will host the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving in 2026.

In addition to the seven selected players in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions have also added another nine rookies to their roster from the undrafted free agent (UDFA) market.

One NFL analyst believes Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell is entering the 2026 season on the hot seat. Now, before I go nuclear on this podcast clip, a little context. This is from Monday’s episode of “The Rich Eisen Show,” and it was in the middle of a segment called Overreaction Monday. Of course, the […]

The Detroit Lions traded up in the second-round of the 2026 NFL Draft to select Michigan edge defender Derrick Moore. They ended up moving six spots—from 50 to 44—and spending Pick 128 (their second fourth-round pick) to get there. It was a modest trade up of very fair value. But on Monday, the New York […]

The 2026 NFL Draft may be a couple weeks old at this point, but the Detroit Lions aren’t likely done adding players to their roster. In fact, they still have a few roster spots open before Organized Team Activities and minicamp begin at the end of this month. Lions general manager Brad Holmes even said […]
As we approach the middle of May, predicting which players will or will not make the Detroit Lions’ initial roster is a lofty task.

Detroit Lions football under Dan Campbell has largely been rooted in trench play. For a team that boasts its physicality and grittiness, it makes sense for them to develop an identity that starts with the offensive and defensive lines. As they’ve said from the beginning, it all starts with running the ball and stopping the […]
