Which Detroit Lions player will have the biggest bounce-back season in 2026?
I don’t need to remind you how much of disappointment the 2025 Detroit Lions season was. After significant growth in every season under coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes, Detroit took a huge step back. Not only did they fail to make the playoffs, but it took them a relatively meaningless win in […]

Discussion: Which Lions player is most responsible for your fandom?
For some, being a Detroit Lions fan was something they were born into. It’s a life sentence as a result of being born into a Lions family or growing up in Michigan. For others, something brought them into Lions fandom, be it a player, an era, or something something as simple as the team’s logo […]
Is making Jahmyr Gibbs a ‘bell-cow back’ the right decision?
Last week, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell revealed that the team plans on using running back Jahmyr Gibbs as their “bell cow back,” a common term used to denote they are going to get a large majority of the work. “He’s going to be our bell cow now. He really became more of that last […]
Discussion: Should Jared Goff play in a preseason game?
Chemistry is an important part of every successful offense, and that chemistry begins during the offseason. Every single rep in practice helps build cohesion, timing, and communication. However, for as useful as live snaps are, starters are playing fewer and fewer preseason games. Preseason games are often a team’s best way to get a taste […]
Notes: Jared Goff named most underrated QB in NFL
Entering his 11th NFL season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is the most underrated quarterback in the league, according to one former NFL player and scout turned analyst.

The 1 main focus of Jameson Williams’ offseason
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has improved in every year of his NFL career. After redshirting for most of his rookie season while recovering from an ACL injury, he’s been able to increase his productivity in each year. He went for just 354 yards in 2023, but pushed that to 1,001 yards in 2024. […]
Adding pass rush was a ‘priority’ for Detroit Lions this offseason
Looking at some basic stats, you’d think the Detroit Lions wouldn’t need to add too much pass rush this offseason. They finished 2025 fifth in sacks, ninth in quarterback hits, and sixth in pressures (per NFL Pro). However, anyone who watched the actual games knows that Detroit took far too long to get to the […]

Discussion: How many Detroit Lions players will be All Pros in 2026?
With this week’s news of the Myles Garrett trade for the Los Angeles Rams, there has been a noticeable downswing in emotions among Detroit Lions fans. It’s at least a little warranted, as LA appears to be in an arms race, while the Lions have not made any real splashy moves this offseason outside of […]
Which Lions player has the biggest chip on their shoulder for the 2026 season?
Sometimes the best medicine for a competitor is getting punched in the mouth. Take the 2025 Detroit Lions for example. Coming off of a magical season in 2024 that ended in brutal disappointment at the hands of the Washington Commanders in the Divisional round of the playoffs, many felt like Detroit was poised to make […]
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs mum on contract negotiations
Earlier this offseason, the Detroit Lions signed linebacker Jack Campbell to a four-year, $81 million extension.

Lions News: Penei Sewell showing leadership, camaraderie with new o-line
With several new faces this season, the Detroit Lions offensive line is hard at work building chemistry.

Lions still ‘don’t know’ future of Kerby Joseph’s injury recovery
The mystery surrounding Kerby Joseph’s injury continues.

On Thursday, the Detroit Lions will close out Week 2 of Organized Team Activities. It’s their sixth practice of OTAs, and it will be the second with media present at Allen Park.
