Discussion: Who should perform at the Lions’ Thanksgiving halftime show?
Going all the way back to 1934, the Detroit Lions have always played on Thanksgiving Day. Apart from the six year span that took place during World War 2, you could set your clock to the first football game of the day being played in the state of Michigan at 12:30 p.m. ET. From the […]

Lions vs. Eagles bold prediction: Detroit’s defense causes havoc
Last week, my bold prediction was considered “mild” by some, and it came up six points short. The Detroit Lions offense was explosive and scored 44 points against the Washington Commanders, but couldn’t hit the big 50 like I thought they could. This week, I am shifting my focus from the offense to the defense. […]

Lions OC John Morton responds to play-calling change: ‘It’s not about me’
Detroit Lions offensive coordinator John Morton had to face the music on Thursday afternoon—just over a week since coach Dan Campbell stripped him of play-calling duties and took care of it himself.

NFL Week 11 staff picks: Moneyline, spread, over/under predictions
It’s hard to believe we’re nearly two-thirds of the way through the NFL regular season. Feels like just yesterday it was pumpkin patches and cider mills, but if you’re a local Michigander, you came face to face with Old Man Winter earlier this week. Good thing Ford Field has a roof. As we have done […]

Why Ahmed Hassanein passed on offers from 31 NFL teams for the Lions
It wasn’t long ago that football in Detroit looked a lot different from the outside looking in. Remember when Rob Gronkowski said he would rather have retired than play for the Lions? What about when a former Lions starting cornerback told Nate Burelson that Detroit was where careers went to die? The Lions brought back […]

Detroit Lions not hyper-fixating on Eagles’ tush push
With the Philadelphia Eagles on deck for the Detroit Lions, the chatter about the infamous tush push has already overtaken Detroit. The short-yardage play has become synonymous with the Eagles offense, as its success rate of 91.3% on third or fourth-and-1 from 2022-24 is a huge weapon on critical plays. So, yeah, the Lions are […]
