Latest news and updates about the Lions
Last week, we provided our own game-by-game predictions for the Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule. But let’s turn that idea on its head. Instead, let’s see how the Lions’ 2026 opponents see how Detroit’s season will play out. For this exercise, I tallied the game-by-game prediction from SB Nation sites of Detroit’s 2026 opponents*. In those […]
Another day, another opportunity to include an entry in our superlative series on the Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule. For the rest of this week, we’re breaking down a different angle of Detroit’s schedule every day, with each of us on staff offering our unique perspective on what the schedule makers have put together for the […]
With the Detroit Lions’ schedule out and the betting lines released, expectations have been set for the 2026 season. Detroit arguably has the easiest schedule in the NFL—even if there are some things we really don’t like about it. They’re favorites in all but three games this season. And while there are certainly a lot […]
After a one-year hiatus, the New England Patriots are returning to the international stage later this year. The Super Bowl runner-ups will square off against the Detroit Lions in a Nov. 15 contest at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Due to the game taking place abroad, the ticketing procedure also differs from your standard regular […]
The Miami Dolphins may not have been the only team interested in Kadyn Proctor as it’s come out that the Detroit Lions may have coveted the big offensive lineman. The Lions (17) were working on trading up with the Baltimore Ravens (14) but that plan fell through when the Dolphins selected Proctor. Though it wasn’t […]
The Commanders preseason schedule is officially set. The date and time of Washington’s Week 2 exhibition against the Detroit Lions were the only details outstanding, and the team announced them on Tuesday afternoon. They’ll play the Lions on Aug. 22 at noon ET in a game that will be broadcast locally on WUSA 9, the CBS […]
I would normally sit here and tell you that a quarterback winning his first MVP and putting together his best individual season at age 37 is not a predictive indicator of what is to come. Smart bets would usually lean towards a return to normalcy and career baselines. I’m known for finding the contrarian angle […]
In addition to announcing their regular season schedule, the Detroit Lions also announced on Thursday their three-game preseason schedule, although without the dates. This year’s schedule, as usual, features a couple of nearby opponents to minimize travel. It’s also worth noting that Lions coach Dan Campbell already expressed that he doesn’t want to do any […]
As teams release their 2026 NFL Draft war room videos, it can sometimes tell us more about the Detroit Lions’ process. We’ve already seen the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens reveal tarde offers they received from the Lions that ended up not going through. But there’s another moment from the Ravens video that involves […]
Ronald Araujo has been quizzed on Real Madrid’s recent troubles including the alleged altercation between Fede Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni before El Clasico. The incident saw Valverde hospitalised and ruled out of the game which Barcelona went on to win 2-0 and seal the title. Araujo was quizzed on the incident and admitted he wasn’t […]
Week 1 – Saints @ Lions The Saints open the 2026 season on the road against the Detroit Lions. Historically a bottom feeder, the Lions have been one of the best teams in the NFL over the past few seasons. This is largely due to… a bunch of former Saints. Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell […]
Rest differential has become the newest trendy stat when it comes to the NFL schedule. In short, it looks at every game on their schedule and calculates the overall difference in how much extra rest a team has compared to their opponent. For example, if the Lions are playing the Bears on a Sunday afternoon, […]
The goal for any team is to come out with a strong start. The New Orleans Saints will have to do exactly that if they want to get out of the blocks fast. They’re facing an uphill battle right out of the gate, traveling to Detroit to face a Lions team looking to bounce back […]
This is the part of the offseason where football fans are arrested to counting off days on the calendar. We won’t see the Detroit Lions take the field to play football for some time now, but at least we have the schedule for when it will all eventually happen! For the next week here at […]
With the 2026 NFL schedule now out, it got me wondering about where I’d want to go next for a road visit. While it has become a luxury to attend Detroit Lions games locally, fans have found a way around expensive Ford Field tickets by going to away games that are somehow cheaper—even with travel […]
The NFL accelerator program—an annual summit to help minority coaches gain connections and increase their chances at advancement in the league—is returning after the league ended the program last year. And upon its return next week, there will be a Detroit Lions assistant coach who will participate. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Lions passing game […]
Every year, the NFL schedule brings about something new for the Detroit Lions. This year, it’s a trip to Germany, a rare “Sunday Night Football” game at Carolina, and an early bye week. Oh, wait, scratch that last one. It happens all the time. Another constant on the Lions’ schedule is their divisional opponents. Like […]
In what always feels like the first step towards the upcoming season, teams around the NFL released their regular-season schedules this week. Teams like the Los Angeles Chargers did their usual thing while others, like the Lions, went with a more subtle approach. Personally, I didn’t mind what Detroit did this year. It certainly could […]
On Thursday evening, all 32 NFL teams released their 2026 season schedules, and the New England Patriots, in Year 2 of the Mike Vrabel regime, have the sixth-toughest strength of schedule. Additionally, they will have to travel the fifth-most air miles, with an international game against the Detroit Lions in Munich, Germany, and two West […]
The Detroit Lions’ schedule for 2026 has officially dropped. If Detroit wants to improve upon their 9-8 season from the year prior, they need to not only win the easy games, but also win those toss-ups against tough foes and divisional opponents. While the Lions benefit on paper from a fourth-place schedule, winning in the […]
The Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule was released on Thursday, and man, the schedule makers did the Lions no favors. Despite finishing in fourth in their division and being labeled as having an “easy” schedule, the NFL made sure the Lions had an uphill battle to climb. Here are five things that I hate when looking […]

The Detroit Lions have set an interesting tone this offseason, and that continued on Thursday night with the team’s official schedule release video. While the day has become a platform for each NFL team’s video production departments to spend their budgets and display their creativity, the Lions went in the opposite direction this year. With […]
The Detroit Lions’ 2026 schedule is officially out, and it features a ton of intrigue. Between eight nationally televised games, four primetime contests, and a trip to Munich, Germany, the Lions remain a brand that the NFL is clearly investing in. But in a lot of ways, the schedule is also very unkind to the […]
Three more leaks have been reported regarding the 2026 Detroit Lions schedule. First, it appears the Lions will host the New York Giants on “Monday Night Football” in Week 16, per several Giants sources—Art Stapleton appeared to be first. That game will be on Monday, December 28 at Ford Field. The Giants are starting anew […]
