The Detroit Lions will try to get back on the winning side on Sunday after dropping three of their last four games. Detroit is currently on the outside of the playoff picture looking in, but they could climb as high as the three seed this week, should all of the Week 12 games fall the right way. There is plenty of season left, and the Lions are still playing at a relatively high level.

But that means no slipping against teams they should beat. The 2-9 New York Giants certainly fall under that category. While they have pulled off a...

The Detroit Lions enter Week 12 in unfamiliar territory: out of an NFC playoff spot. With seven weeks of the league still remaining, there is plenty of time left for Detroit to climb their way back into the postseason. In fact, they still remain in control of their own destiny. Winning out would guarantee them a third straight NFC North title and a top-three seed in the NFC.

Of course, given Detroit’s difficult schedule, winning out is a pretty tough ask of this team right now. So let’s look across the NFL’s Week 12 slate and find out which games...

Here we are once again. The Detroit Lions are coming off a disappointing loss, and now they need to take out their frustrations on another team. This week’s victim is the New York Giants, who are coming in limping and with a new coach. Detroit opened up as a 10.5-point favorite according to FanDuel, and the spread grew to 12.5 after it was announced that Giants rookie quarterback Jaxton Dart would miss this week. With Dart out, that gives the Lions an easier time on the defensive side, as Dart has been explosive for the Giants this season. Even without...

The Detroit Lions are looking to rebound and find their way back into the NFC playoff picture with their first of three consecutive home games. The 2-9 New York Giants are in town, and the Lions cannot afford a letdown game here, even if the Giants are a bit more scrappy than their record suggests.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Lions vs. Giants in Week 12 of the NFL.

When is the Giants at Lions?...

The Detroit Lions announced on Saturday that they have activated cornerbacks D.J. Reed and Khalil Dorsey from injured reserve, and both have had their questionable injury statuses removed. That means both are set to play in Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. The Lions have now used three of their eight IR-to-return spots, Daniel Thomas being the other.

In order to make room for both players, the Lions announced they have released. linebacker Ty Summers and defensive back Erick Hallett.

The return of Reed is a big deal for the Lions. The defense’s top corner, Reed, has missed six...

The Lions have now dropped three of their last five games—more than they lost in the entire 2024 regular season—after hitting an unwelcome rock bottom on offense against the Eagles, producing their first single-digit performance (9 points) since that forgettable Week 7, 2023 loss to the Ravens. Sitting third in the NFC North, Detroit once again finds itself—much like in the Commanders matchup—as a hefty favorite against a backup quarterback in what feels like a must-have bounce-back opportunity.

Dan Campbell faces the franchise that drafted him and with whom he spent his first four NFL seasons—though he’ll do so without...

It’s time for another one of our weekly Madden 26 simulations, where we preview the Detroit Lions’ upcoming game by seeing what the iconic video game series spits out. In short, we adjust each team’s lineups in Madden based on the most recent injury report, select which uniforms we want each team to wear, and then we watch the computer face off against the computer, all while I provide live commentary.

“How good is Madden at predicting the actual outcome?”

Terrible, but we have fun anyway.

This year, Madden has correctly predicted the winner six out of 10 times. To...

The Detroit Lions may be 12.5-point favorites over the New York Giants this week, but they better not take them lightly. Despite their 2-9 record, the Giants have been scrappy this year. Not only have both of their wins come against teams currently in playoff spots (Chargers, Eagles), but they’ve played almost everyone close, and even held mutli-score leads on several opponents in which they ultimately lost to.

“This team has been in a ton of these games, man,” coach Dan Campbell said this week. “And a few of these games they’ve been up a couple of scores and lost...
