The Detroit Lions need a bounce-back game this week, not only to try and keep pace in a competitive division and conference, but also to regain the trust and hope of fans.

The Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders are trying to turn their respective seasons around in Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season. The Commanders (3-6) are on a four-game skid, and their playoff hopes are already on life support at the midway point in the season. The Lions’ (5-3) situation is far less dire, but […]

One of the most frustrating points of the Detroit Lions’ loss over the Minnesota Vikings came when Lions linebacker Jack Campbell went on a blitz and nearly sacked J.J. McCarthy. The Vikings quarterback completed a 4-yard pass to T.J. Hockenson, but Campbell was called for roughing the passer—turning a third-and-5 into an automatic first down. […]

Earlier this week, we published our latest SB Nation Reacts surveys, brought to you by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook, asking Detroit Lions fans three questions: Nothing sours a fan base more than a loss to a division rival. As we’ve seen following each of the Lions’ three losses this season, confidence in the team has dropped […]

Anyone who knows Kalif Raymond knows he would stay as far away from controversy as possible, yet his actions in the Detroit Lions’ Week 9 game against the Minnesota Vikings caught the ire from some of his opponents this week. On a screen play to Jahmyr Gibbs, Raymond went into motion toward the line of […]

The Detroit Lions offense is in a bit of a funk, and the team is actively searching for answers. While the team ranks second in the NFL in points per game (29.9), they haven’t been nearly as efficient as of late. Since Week 6, they’re averaging just 21.7 points per game, rank 19th in EPA/play, […]

There are a ton of really amazing stadiums in the NFL. You have historic venues such as Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs, and Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers.

It’s been a rough start to the year for On Paper, as the Detroit Lions’ games have rarely gone as the statistics have suggested this year.

The Detroit Lions (5-3) and Washington Commanders (3-6) will square off in a Week 10 matchup. The last time these two teams met, the Lions’ injury-depleted defense couldn’t keep up with Washington’s offense.

Well, you can’t win them all, right? Not only did the Detroit Lions lose last week, but my bold prediction came up short, as wide receiver Jameson Williams only gained 66 yards and a touchdown, coming up 34 yards short of my guess. I’m sticking with the offense once again, as they’ve been struggling and […]

I’ve had a running joke this year that you cannot trust “Thursday Night Football” games between divisional opponents. Get together two teams who know each other well and put them on a short week, and anything can happen. Look no further than the 49ers’ upset of the Rams, the Giants’ upset of the Eagles, and […]

The Detroit Lions coordinators took the podium on Thursday morning after the team’s tough loss to the Minnesota Vikings. While the coordinators have never shied away from honesty in their media sessions, this felt turned up to 11.

It was 2018 when Josh Paschal noticed a spot on the bottom of his foot. Entering his second season playing for Kentucky, he didn’t think much of it. A blood blister, perhaps. But his athletic trainer wasn’t convinced. A trip to the podiatrist led to a trip to the dermatologist. A biopsy would reveal the […]
