A Detroit Lions blog by Lions fans, for Lions fans.
The Detroit Lions announced a plethora of roster moves on Wednesday.

We are back after the Detroit Lions’ thrilling win over the New York Giants in Week 12 to preview another big game in Week 13, as the Green Bay Packers come to town for the second of the team’s two regular season matchups in 2025. After the Packers got the better of the Lions back […]

Let’s take a look at the latest injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note: Any changes from the last injury report will be bolded. […]
It’s a Thanksgiving Day miracle! As teased by the Detroit Lions and later confirmed by multiple national reporters, All-Pro center Frank Ragnow is coming out of retirement after just a few months on the sideline. “Center Frank Ragnow is returning. Sounds like he’s in shape and ready to roll sooner, rather than later,” NFL Network’s […]
The Detroit Lions (7-4) and Green Bay Packers (7-3-1) will face off for the second time this season, this time inside the comfy confines of Ford Field on Thanksgiving Day. In their first meeting, the Packers took care of business in Week 1, executing a well-thought-out game plan and walking away with a convincing 27-13 victory. […]
The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers face off on Thursday in one of the bigger Thanksgiving Day classics in this franchise’s history. With a tight race both in the division and conference, this could be a game we look back on as the difference between a third-straight NFC North crown and missing the playoffs […]
Gather ye stuffed turkey hats, the Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit is back again. A holiday tradition for many families here in Michigan, the Detroit Lions will welcome the Green Bay Packers to a rematch on their home turf on Thursday afternoon. The Week 1 loss to the Packers 27-13 sent many into a tailspin […]
The Detroit Lions eked out a victory last week to help them keep pace in a competitive NFC playoff picture. It wasn’t pretty—at times it was outright ugly—but there are no style points attached to wins in the NFL, and there is no rest this week for the Lions. They turn things around on a […]
I had a vision for my prediction last week, but I came two sacks short. Detroit Lions EDGE Aidan Hutchinson came in clutch with the game-ending sack on Sunday afternoon against the New York Giants, but he didn’t have the big game I expected he would. I’m flipping the script this time, and I want […]
On Tuesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced 26 semifinalists for the modern-era Hall of Fame class of 2026, and for the first time, that list includes Detroit Lions legendary offensive lineman Lomas Brown. Retired in 2002, Brown has been eligible for the Hall of Fame for nearly 20 years now, but this is […]
On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions announced that they have released three players from their active roster: defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson, cornerback Nick Whiteside, and nickelback Arthur Maulet—confirming a report from earlier in the day. These moves were presumably made in order to make room for multiple players returning from injury ahead of their Week 13 […]
The Detroit Lions (7-4) and Green Bay Packers (7-3-1) will face off on Thursday in Week 13, and as a result, both teams’ practices will only be walk-throughs. That means all practice participation levels are estimates based on projections from coaches, had a typical practice been held. Let’s take a look at the latest injury […]

The Detroit Lions are reportedly waiving veteran cornerback Arthur Maulet, as first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The move is being made in anticipation of a few Lions players likely to return from injury lists this week. Defensive end Josh Paschal and rookie offensive lineman Miles Frazier are at the end of their evaluation […]
The Detroit Lions (7-4) needed overtime to get a win over the New York Giants (2-10), but wins are hard to come by in the NFL, and so it’s important not to dismiss this win too quickly. On the surface, a win over a team with the Giants’ record would be easily dismissed in the […]
Following an absolutely monstrous performance on Sunday, Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been nominated for one of this week’s FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week Awards. Gibbs was simply a superstar in front of a home crowd this past Sunday afternoon against New York—219 rushing yards, 45 receiving yards, three […]
Jahmyr Gibbs carried the Detroit Lions’ entire team against the New York Giants. He scored three of the team’s four touchdowns on the day, and his 264 yards of offense accounted for over 53 percent of the team’s entire output. Since coach Dan Campbell has taken over play-calling on offense, it’s been the Jahmyr Gibbs […]
Editor’s note: For a big rivalry game between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, we welcomed Justis Mosqueda to help fill us in about Detroit’s NFC North rivals. Below is his State of the Green Bay Packers analysis, noting how the Packers have changed in the 12 weeks since the Lions and Packers first […]
The Detroit Lions could get a key member of their defensive line back this week. During his weekly radio appearance, Lions coach Dan Campbell expressed optimism that starting defensive end Marcus Davenport could return from injured reserve this week. “We’re hopeful. We’re hopeful. He looked really good last week,” Campbell told the Costa & Jansen […]
The Detroit Lions did everything in their control to help their playoff chances in 2025, but the rest of the NFC did not comply. Despite moving to 7-4 on the season, the Lions remain on the outside looking in for the NFC playoff picture, and their odds actually slightly decreased to make the postseason after […]
Not everything needs a sequel, but the Detroit Lions are excited for their second battle with the Green Bay Packers. After getting boat raced in the season opener, losing 27-13, now the Packers come to Ford Field on Thanksgiving, where the Lions hope to serve up a victory for the fans on the holiday afternoon. […]
The Detroit Lions eked out a win against the New York Giants on Sunday, but their playoff position didn’t change at all in Week 12. They remain in the NFC’s eight seed—one spot out of the playoffs—despite being 7-4 on the season. Detroit got zero help from the other Week 12 outcomes, with the Bears, […]
Week 12 comes to a close with a “Monday Night Football” matchup featuring the Carolina Panthers (6-5) and San Francisco 49ers (7-4). While the Detroit Lions don’t have either of these teams on their 2025 schedule, both teams are in the NFC Playoff hunt—the Panthers are tied for the lead in the NFC South, while […]
The Detroit Lions came out with a win in a close overtime matchup against the New York Giants. The Giants, who have an interim head coach and a backup quarterback, put up much more of a fight than most expected. This is a case where the box score and the film tell two very different […]
