While we await who will be named the 2025 Detroit Lions Thanksgiving halftime show performer, the team announced on Thursday a partnership with local rap artist Eminem (AKA Marshall Mathers) that will go through the 2027 season. Per the agreement, Eminem and his long-time manager, Paul Rosenberg, will produce the Thanksgiving halftime show for the next three years.

“We’re thrilled to be working with Marshall and Paul, who are two of the most accomplished and respected names in the music industry, not to mention longtime Lions fans,” Detroit Lions president & CEO Rod Wood said via a written statement. “Their...

It’s hard to believe we’re nearly two-thirds of the way through the NFL regular season. Feels like just yesterday it was pumpkin patches and cider mills, but if you’re a local Michigander, you came face to face with Old Man Winter earlier this week. Good thing Ford Field has a roof.

As we have done in past seasons, our staff will be making weekly predictions for every game on the NFL schedule. Each of the Pride of Detroit staff will pick the moneyline (winner of the game, no spread), but some of the members will also pick against the spread...

The Detroit Lions (6-3) and Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) will square off in a Week 11 battle between two of the best teams in the NFC. In a matchup many were expecting to see in the NFC Championship game last season, this game once again has the potential for major playoff implications.

While both teams are loaded with talent, each has experienced some attrition on their coaching staff. Three of the four coordinators on these teams last season departed for head coaching positions in the offseason, as the Lions lost coordinators Ben Johnson (Bears) and Aaron Glenn (Jets), while the Eagles...

A moment from the Detroit Lions’ 44-22 victory over the Washington Commanders went viral. In the video, captured by FOX sideline cameras, coach Dan Campbell is seen becoming emotional after making a play call. Moments later, Jared Goff threw a touchdown pass to Jameson Williams to put the team up 32-10 in the third quarter.

Many people, including the NFL’s official Instagram account, interpreted the moment as Campbell knowing the play would work and getting fired up before the play was even run.

It turns out that is not what happened at all. On his podcast episode this week, [Lions...

It wasn’t long ago that football in Detroit looked a lot different from the outside looking in.

Remember when Rob Gronkowski said he would rather have retired than play for the Lions? What about when a former Lions starting cornerback told Nate Burelson that Detroit was where careers went to die?

The Lions brought back Ahmed Hassanein earlier this week, signing their former sixth-round pick of the 2025 NFL Draft to the team’s practice squad. For a franchise once regarded as desolate and empty on expectations as any team in sports, one thing led Hassanein back to this Lions team:...

Each week, SB Nation tracks NFL fans’ confidence levels of their favorite teams with their Reacts Surveys posted on their team websites. For Pride of Detroit, we are tasked with gauging Detroit Lions fans’ confidence in the team heading into each game.

Through the Lions’ first nine games, we’ve seen some expected fluctuations, as well as a few dramatic ones. Let’s take a quick look at how things have shaken out this season:

Entering the 2025 season: 94%
After Week 1 loss to Packers: 53%
Week 2 win over Bears: 85%
Week 3 win over Ravens: 99%
Week 4 win...

There’s nothing quite like the excitement inside the Lions Radio Network on the average game day, but it’s especially fun when the Detroit Lions are steamrolling their opponent.

The Lions released some of the best calls from the Lions Radio Network team of Dan Miller, Lomas Brown and T.J. Lang. Expect a lot of yelling after the Lions blew the Washington Commanders out on their own turf to the tune of 44-22.

Side note of appreciation—from a broadcasting perspective, it’s wild to me that Dan Miller and Lomas Brown don’t look at each other. You can see that in the...

The Detroit Lions (6-3) and Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) have declared their initial Week 11 injury reports, and the Lions have returned another two injured reserve players to practice. The Lions now have five players on their injury list who have begun practicing in preparation to return over the next few weeks. That being said, the Lions also had several players not practicing to start the week—including five starters—making for lots of players to monitor this week.

Let’s take a look at the latest injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note: Any changes from the...

With the Philadelphia Eagles on deck for the Detroit Lions, the chatter about the infamous tush push has already overtaken Detroit. The short-yardage play has become synonymous with the Eagles offense, as its success rate of 91.3% on third or fourth-and-1 from 2022-24 is a huge weapon on critical plays.

So, yeah, the Lions are thinking about the play, and hoping to find a way to stop it.

“We’ve talked about it. Look, we know. We’ve got a plan, we’ve got an idea,” coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday. “You’ve got to execute, and if you don’t, you’ve got to line...

The Detroit Lions opened 2025 with multiple players on injury lists, then saw a few more starters end up on injured reserve in the first half of the season. But over the last few weeks, several of these injured players have gotten healthy, and the Lions have started returning them to practice. On Wednesday, the Lions started the injury evaluation clocks on two more of those players: CB D.J. Reed and EDGE Marcus Davenport.

Reed has been sidelined after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns and has been on injured reserve ever since. The Lions’...

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week after his big game against the Washington Commanders. On Sunday, Gibbs took 15 carries for 142 yards (9.5 per carry), added three catches for 30 years, and he found the end zone three separate times that afternoon.

Per the Lions’ official PR team, Gibbs is just the second Lions running back to win the award multiple times, joining Hall of Famer Barry Sanders. The only other time Gibbs has won the award was for his Week 18 performance against the Minnesota Vikings last year,...

On Sunday night, the Detroit Lions have one of their biggest games remaining on the schedule. A trip to the east coast to face off against the NFC-leading Philadelphia Eagles awaits. If the Eagles win, they’ll have commanding control of the conference, especially with head-to-head win over the Rams, Buccaneers, Packers (and Lions). If Detroit wins, they’ll notch a huge tiebreaker over Philly and could start eyeing the first overall seed.

Without a doubt, the biggest challenge the Eagles pose is their interior defensive line. The combination of Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and Moro Ojomo pose a huge threat both...
