Latest blog entries from Detroit teams across every league
Last week, the Kansas City Chiefs were an easy call to move up in power rankings after a 30-17 win over the Detroit Lions. This week, a 31-0 shutout of the Las Vegas Raiders continued the trend. Every power ranking we’re tracking moved them up again — including a few with the Chiefs at the […]
The Detroit Lions continue to find new ways to win football games. Their victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7 brought both teams’ records to 5-2, but the manner in which the Lions pulled off the win was in a way nobody saw coming. Let’s take a look at this week’s snap counts […]

As the Detroit Lions’ ragtag group of inexperienced defensive backs celebrated their unexpected success in a 24-9 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, most had one thing in common: they were sporting Brian Branch #32 jerseys.

It was a reversal of roles on Monday night and in the unlikeliest of circumstances. The Detroit Lions offense has regularly buoyed the team, given the immense amount of talent on that side of the ball. And with the entire Lions’ starting secondary missing against a red-hot Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense, many—myself included—expected a bit […]
That is how you shake off a loss. A week after falling to the Kansas City Chiefs in disappointing fashion, the Detroit Lions did a complete 180 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite entering the night with a battered and short-staffed secondary, it was Detroit putting the defensive clams on MVP-frontrunner Baker Mayfield and the […]
By playoff seeding, the Detroit Lions are currently holding the five spot.

But playoff seeding is […]

Thankfully, once the weekend came, it felt like it was time to focus on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Monday Night […]
The Detroit Lions have put the rest of the NFC on notice by taking down the top team in the conference on Monday, and it was enough to keep them knocking on the door to the top spot themselves. For now, though, they remain just out of the division lead but they have moved up […]
