The Detroit Lions’ 2025 season was a disappointment in so many ways. But none more humiliating than the fact that Madden—an extremely flawed video game—was better at predicting Lions outcomes than I was. And it wasn’t particularly close. Our weekly Madden simulations, where we live-stream a game of computer vs. computer Madden game, actually went […]

The only thing that practically matters for the Detroit Lions is draft order and their 2026 schedule. And while the best way to improve those things is a Lions loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, I wouldn’t blame you if you’re incapable of rooting for that. If that’s too much for your taste, I’ve […]

These two franchises have been playing each other since 1930; only back then, it was the Chicago Bears vs the Portsmouth Spartans. The Bears lost that first matchup, and they’ve lost the last three against the Detroit Lions, but Chicago holds a (105-81-5) all-time record in the series. For Week 18, there’s not quite as […]

Every year, there is change within NFL teams. There’s a fair amount of roster turnover year-to-year, and coaching staffs are usually tweaked here and there. But during Dan Campbell’s final press conference of the 2025 season, the Detroit Lions coach seemed to put an extra emphasis that, after a failed season, they are not going […]

While the Detroit Lions’ season ended on Christmas last week, there was one silver lining: my bold prediction was correct. That makes it two times my bold prediction has come true this season, not the record I wanted to have. In the 2025 season finale, the Lions travel and take on the Chicago Bears in […]

For the first time in four years, I’m previewing a Detroit Lions game that I know is “meaningless.” It’s been a good run for On Paper and the Lions, but it’s hard to put a ton of effort into this Week 18 preview against the Chicago Bears when the stakes are nearly zero, and the […]

It’s obvious one of the major problems of the 2025 Detroit Lions was their defense. On a weekly basis, the Lions were giving up explosive play after explosive play, and in key moments, Detroit’s defense just couldn’t get off the field. It only seemed to get worse, as even the Lions’ normally-steady run defense collapsed […]

The Detroit Lions saw five players earn Pro Bowl nominations in 2025-26, and while postseason recognition is meant to be an appreciation of talent, there are typically financial ramifications attached to the acknowledgement. For veterans, those outcomes often present themselves in the form of palatable roster bonuses. However, first-round picks who are still playing on […]

We are back with our final episode of “Before the Roar,” where myself (Morgan) and my good friend Meko Scott are breaking down the last game of the Detroit Lions’ 2025 season against the Chicago Bears, as well as taking a look ahead to what the offseason might hold. We begin by quickly recapping the […]

Before the 2025 Detroit Lions season began, many wondered how the team would look after losing both coordinators to head coaching jobs. Many warned of a potential “brain drain” in Detroit, and when Frank Ragnow suddenly retired in May, offensive line concerns were just as large—if not larger—than that of the coaching staff losses. One […]

The Detroit Lions will likely enter the 2026 offseason looking for solutions for an offensive line that took a significant step back this season. If you’re hoping retired All-Pro center Frank Ragnow is one of those solutions, Lions quarterback Jared Goff has got some bad news for you. Talking with 97.1 The Ticket on Tuesday […]

The Detroit Lions (8-8) are officially eliminated from the 2026 playoffs, following a Week 17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. With the postseason out of reach, the Lions are unsurprisingly ranked below the 14 teams expected to compete beyond the regular season. While the Lions still land in the teens across all power rankers, being […]

If you’re wondering whether the Detroit Lions are going to play all of their starter in a “meaningless” Week 18 game against the Chicago Bears, coach Dan Campbell gave a resounding… maybe? Unsurprisingly, Campbell mentioned that the game can say a lot about a team’s set of players, and it’s the standard in Detroit to […]

Big decisions await the Detroit Lions as they head into the 2026 offseason. After a massive step back this year, Lions coach Dan Campbell said he expects to evaluate everything this offseason, and there’s a chance to make changes anywhere. The defense figures to be a pretty big focus this offseason, as the Lions dropped […]

A peaceful Christmas featuring a walk back from church, a trip to my pops (where I think he enjoyed the batch of peanut butter blossom cookies I made him), and a night watching Return of the Jedi (dueling red and green lightsabers makes it a Christmas movie to me!) really hit the mark. Plus, I didn’t have to argue with anyone about the Bears or quarterback Caleb Williams. I hope your day was as wonderful as mine. Happy Friday, friends. I got a hearty chuckle reading Brett’s BN Cubs Bull...

A pair of Minnesota Vikings set records on Thursday afternoon in the team’s 23-10 victory over the Detroit Lions. Since it’s time to talk about the positives that came out of the victory, let’s talk a bit about them now. The first one is a record that I think a lot of us expected to […]

Welp, the season is over. Although there is still a game next week against the Chicago Bears, the Detroit Lions have nothing to play for but a winning record. Heading into the Christmas Day showdown against the Minnesota Vikings, the Lions still had the possibility of making the playoffs. What they needed was to win […]

The Detroit Lions’ lost to a third-string, undrafted rookie quarterback who completed eight passes for 51 yards—just barely enough to offset the 48 yards of sack yardage he lost. That’s how bad the Lions’ offense was against the Minnesota Vikings in their (essentially) season-ending loss on Christmas. Let’s break it all down in our penultimate […]

Sometimes, when the offense is struggling, the defense needs to pick them up. On Christmas Day at U.S. Bank Stadium, the Minnesota Vikings’ defense not only picked up the offense, but they also carried them all the way into 2026 with some serious momentum. Minnesota’s defense forced six turnovers from a Detroit Lions’ offense that […]

Thus ends the Detroit Lions’ 2025 campaign. The dream was dying after a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, but it is officially dead following the Christmas Day loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Detroit has fallen to 8-8 on the season, an embarrassing and disappointing fall from their 15-2 season the year prior. The […]
