Detroit Lions Week 8 rooting guide: Best outcomes for playoff seeding
The Detroit Lions are on their bye week, and it has already started off exceedingly well. One of their division rivals, the Minnesota Vikings, got absolutely embarrassed on Thursday night, falling 37-10 to the Chargers in the second-worst loss of Minnesota’s Kevin O’Connell era. Now it’s time to look forward to the rest of the […]
Discussion: What is the biggest surprise of the Detroit Lions’ season so far?
Let’s continue our look back at the Detroit Lions’ first seven weeks of the 2025 NFL season. At the beginning of the season, there were plenty of expectations for the Lions. Despite the change in coordinators, most expected the Lions to maintain a top-five offense due to their overwhelming amount of talent. Breakout years were […]
Buccaneers player receives MASSIVE fine for play vs. Lions
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White received the highest fine of Week 8 for a play against the Detroit Lions on Monday night. White was fined $46,371 for unnecessary roughness, illegal use of the helmet against Lions safety Erick Hallett. There was no penalty called on the play, but the replay shows a clear […]
Reacts results: Fans most excited for D.J. Reed return; confidence in Lions rising
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 two questions: As for our weekly survey, things have risen back to pre-season expectations. This year, we’ve seen a few dips in confidence following the Lions’ two losses. But after a convincing win […]
Discussion: What will the Detroit Lions’ record be at the end of the season?
We’re pretty close to the halfway point in the 2025 NFL season, and your Detroit Lions are pretty close to expectations at their Week 8 bye. For example, way back in May, Erik Schlitt and I made 2025 Lions game-by-game predictions right after the schedule came out. Both of us had the Lions at 5-2 […]
What is your favorite moment from the Lions’ first 7 games of 2025?
Before the 2025 NFL season got underway, there was a lot of chatter about how difficult the Detroit Lions’ schedule looked. At least on paper and before any real football had been played, it appeared daunting. However, as we know, things can change fast in the NFL, and while some of the games to come […]
Checking in on former Detroit Lions playing elsewhere in 2025
With the Detroit Lions on break this week, we felt it was as good a time as any to check in on some former Lions who are playing elsewhere. The purpose of this is to check in on some players we were fans of last year, and also to determine if Detroit made the right […]
NFL refutes Dan Campbell’s understanding of Chiefs/Lions ruling
In the story that refuses to completely die, the NFL tried to provide a little more clarity on the operation of a ruling during the Detroit Lions’ Week 6 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The controversy in question has less to do about the call on the field and more to do with whether […]
Thursday Night Football live chat: Vikings at Chargers
The Detroit Lions are on their bye week, but I’m sure many of the players will be locked in to “Thursday Night Football” from home. That’s because the Lions face off against the Minnesota Vikings next week, their first game against their NFC North foe. Why not do a little early scouting for a big […]
Film breakdown: Nick Whiteside’s awesome Lions’ debut vs. Bucs
The Detroit Lions’ secondary was the story of the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With starting cornerbacks D.J. Reed and Terrion Arnold sidelined, along with starting safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph also out, not many give Detroit’s “no-named” defensive backs much of a chance to stop Baker Mayfield and the Bucs offense, which […]

Notes: Amik Robertson explains difference between Kelvin Sheppard, Aaron Glenn
A few months into the season, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard is quickly becoming known for his infectious, run-through-a-brick-wall energy on the sidelines. It’s that type of explosive fire that sets him apart from former DC Aaron Glenn, explains Amik Robertson. “I think Shep is a little more passionate … He understands me a […]
Former Lions fan favorite cornerback gets tryout with Texans
Former Detroit Lions cornerback Jerry Jacobs was one of the most beloved players in the early days of the Dan Campbell era. The undrafted talent out of Arkansas beat a ton of odds just to make it onto an NFL roster, including starting out his college career at Hutchinson Community College. With Detroit, his gritty […]
Discussion: Who is the Detroit Lions’ 2025 MVP at the bye week?
With the Detroit Lions at the bye week, now is a good time to reflect upon the first seven weeks of the season. A 5-2 start is right about where expectations were for this team, despite a tough-looking schedule to start the season. It hasn’t looked exactly as we expected, though. The Lions offense has […]
Detroit Lions place LB on IR, creating spot for Brian Branch’s return
With Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch coming off the reserve/suspended list this week, the team needed to create a roster spot to accommodate his return to the 53-man roster. That move comes with some bad news. The Lions have officially placed veteran linebacker Zach Cunningham on injured reserve. Cunningham returned to the lineup on Monday […]
Former Lion Ahmed Hassanein appears to have made significant injury progress
When we last heard about Detroit Lions’ 2025 sixth-round pick Ahmed Hassanein, the former Boise State defensive end had suffered a pectoral injury, resulting in the team waiving him with an injury settlement. Lions coach Dan Campbell said Hassanein was going to miss “a while” with the injury, although it was still a surprise to […]
Detroit Lions’ stock report: Risers galore as Lions shipwreck Buccaneers
The Detroit Lions returned home and, with a raucous Ford Field crowd behind them, completely took the wind out of the sails of their NFC rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They now head into their bye week riding high and due for some much-needed rest and recovery. In what was expected to be a high-scoring affair—with […]
Lions, Bucs recap: Defensive magic, but offensive concerns?
The story of Monday night’s game between the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers was Detroit’s improbable defensive performance. Missing every starting player in the secondary of their base defense—and several reserves—the Lions managed to somehow hold Baker Mayfield in check for essentially the entire 60 minutes. Players like Nick Whiteside, Thomas Harper, and Erick […]
Kelvin Sheppard, defensive stalwarts, and ‘Legion of Whom’ answer the call vs. Buccaneers
Through 15 weeks of the NFL season last year, the Detroit Lions had 21 players on injured reserve. Some of the most important pieces to their defense, including Aidan Hutchinson, Alim McNeill, and Derrick Barnes, were put on the shelf before the team eventually won 15 games and earned the top seed in the NFC. […]
Which injured Detroit Lions starter are you most excited to return?
Each week, SB Nation tracks NFL fans’ confidence levels of their favorite teams with their Reacts Surveys posted on their team websites. For Pride of Detroit, we are tasked with gauging Detroit Lions fans’ confidence in the team heading into each game. But this week, with the Lions on the bye, we’ve added a second […]
Full explanation on Detroit Lions’ 2 odd challenges vs. the Buccaneers
The Detroit Lions were involved in another odd officiating situation on Monday night in their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Early in the fourth quarter, the Lions challenged a play in which Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was ruled to convert a fourth-and-2. On the play, Otton caught the ball, reached forward near the […]
Lions Week 7 Game Ball: RB carries offense to big win
