For some, this weekend will be unbearable. The Detroit Lions are out of the playoffs, and I imagine that will be enough to keep some Michiganders away from the television this week. I am not among those people. I love NFL football, and while it’s undoubtedly going to hurt seeing teams in the postseason with—in […]

The Detroit Lions have many questions to answer next offseason. Though a majority of their core and Pro Bowl-caliber players will return, there remain multiple starting positions that could be reshuffled in 2026.

I fully expect Ben Johnson to be deep in his bag this week. Days after the Bears put together a bland and unimagintive game plan in their regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions, Chicago’s football team received good news from the injury report with wide receivers Rome Odunze and DJ Moore (as well as starting left tackle Ozzy Trapilo) garnering full participation status with no game day designation for Saturday’s upcoming playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. So, the way I s...

The NFL showed on Saturday why they’re the best league in professional American sports. Both Wild Card games were phenomenal, and the dramatic finishes in each game were jaw-dropping. But let’s put aside the thrilling Rams vs. Panthers finish, because the nightcap was far more interesting to Detroit Lions fans. The Chicago Bears somehow mounted […]

The Detroit Lions have reportedly wasted little time to show interest in Mike McDaniel as an offensive coordinator candidate. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoprt reports the Lions have “reached out” to McDaniel, who was fired as the Miami Dolphins head coach earlier on Thursday.

Scared, Bears fans? Don’t be. We’ve known it was coming. Somehow, some way.

The 2025 Detroit Lions season isn’t quite what anybody expected. After suffering a monstrous amount of injuries in 2024 and still winning the NFC North and finishing as the top seed in the conference, expectations were high in 2025.

Finishing off the regular season with the division rival Detroit Lions is a testament to how much an NFL season changes from the beginning to end. It’s a demonstration of how teams evolve, get better, or alternatively, get worse, get injured or suffer from bad luck. Think back to when these two teams met in […]
