Per WXYZ in Detroit, police are investigating why Lions WR Jameson Williams avoided arrest on possession of a firearm without a concealed pistol license.
The off-field news on Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams continues to go south.
According to WXYZ in Detroit, local Detroit police have begun an internal investigation into why Williams was not arrested during a traffic stop three weeks ago when he was found to have a firearm without a concealed pistol license.
Body camera coverage confirms that Williams was in the passenger seat while his brother was driving around midnight on October 8. They were pulled...
The Detroit Lions have activated rookie guard Christian Mahogany to the 53-man roster.
The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday that they’ve activated rookie offensive lineman Christian Mahogany from the non-football illness list. He now counts against the team’s 53-man roster and is eligible to play for the first time in his career.
Mahogany was the Lions’ sixth-round pick this year after being a three-year starter for Boston College. Although he was around for OTAs and minicamp in the spring, he contracted mononucleosis in the summer, which caused him to be placed on the non-football illness list and miss all of...
Detroit’s special teams made the difference this week. That and more in this week’s look at advanced key statistics from Lions-Titans.
The Detroit Lions scored 52 points in less than three quarters but only gained 225 yards of offense in their matchup with the Tennessee Titans.
Let’s make it make sense!
As we’ll do every week throughout the season for this Lions team, we have some data we can comb through courtesy of PFF that better helps us understand the football the Lions have played thus far—and what to look forward to in the coming weeks. Let’s take a closer...
The Detroit Lions have achieved a statistical benchmark that has resulted in Super Bowl wins for 6 of the previous 8 teams who accomplished it.
Earlier on Tuesday, we wrote about how the Detroit Lions were the best team in the NFL through eight weeks by a large margin when it comes to the DVOA statistic. In that article, I marveled at the fact the Lions were rolling in all three phases of the game. They’re fourth on offense, third in defense, and rank first in special teams DVOA.
Creator of DVOA, Aaron Schatz, just so happened to put that...
Are the Kansas City Chiefs or Detroit Lions the best team in the NFL? Let’s take a look at some NFL Week 8 power rankings.
Are the Detroit Lions the best team in football? Advanced analytics seem to think so, but what about the NFL analysts who are paid to expound on such subjects?
Well, for the first time this year, in the nine NFL power rankings articles that we gather every week, the Lions are unanimously in the top two. However, the jury is split: are the 6-1 Lions the top team in the NFL or do the undefeated...
Bill Belichick said the Detroit Lions offense is “impossible” to stop in a great interview with Jared Goff.
A lot of compliments are being hurled toward the Detroit Lions these days, but some just carry extra weight. When someone like six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick gives some incredibly high praise, it makes the hairs on your neck stand up.
That’s what happened this week on the “Let’s Go” podcast when Belichick and co-host Jim Gray were interviewing Lions quarterback Jared Goff.
“It’s impossible, I think, for a defense to stop your offense,” Belichick told Goff. “There are too many...
Per an advanced statistical model, the Detroit Lions are the best team in football, and it’s not close.
The Detroit Lions are 6-1, are off to their best start in nearly 70 years, and have blown out two of their last three opponents. It’s not hard to make the case that they’re the best team in football, despite the fact that the returning champion Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated.
But why try to make a subjective argument when you can rely on objective statistics?
According to DVOA, a statistic created by Aaron Schatz, that measures a team’s efficiency and then...
The Lions have an important divisional matchup next week against the Packers. Would you prefer them facing Jordan Love or Malik Willis?
As the Detroit Lions get ready for a pivotal NFC North matchup against the Green Bay Packers, it remains to be seen who will get the starting nod at quarterback between Jordan Love and Malik Willis. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Jordan Love is considered “day-to-day” with a groin injury. The Packers are optimistic and believe he has a shot to play on Sunday.
Today’s Question of the Day is…
Week 8 concludes with the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers battling it out on “Monday Night Football.” Come chat with us in our open thread.
The New York Giants (2-5) and Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) close out Week 8 with an inter-conference battle on “Monday Night Football.” These two teams have met 78 times in their histories, with the Giants holding a 44-31-3 regular season edge, while the Steelers have won the last three matchups, the most recent being in 2020.
The Giants defense is solid but they’re not good enough to overcome the deficiencies on offense. In Week 7,...
Good news on the injury front for Detroit Lions linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez.
One of the lingering questions from the Detroit Lions’ 52-14 win over the Tennessee Titans was the status of linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez. The third-year linebacker suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter and after initially being listed as questionable, he was quickly downgraded to out and did not return.
Despite the ominous look of the injury, it appears Rodriguez may not miss a lot of time. Per NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Rodriguez avoided a high ankle sprain. Instead, it was a re-aggravation of a previous injury, and...
Dan Campbell continues to tease Detroit Lions fans about a potential trade while also insisting they’re not in panic mode.
The NFL trade deadline is now just over a week away: Tuesday, November 5 at 4 p.m. ET. Time is starting to run short for the Detroit Lions to add a much-needed pass rusher, but coach Dan Campbell is keeping the team’s intentions a mystery.
During his Monday afternoon press conference, Campbell played both sides of the coin, insisting that the team was not in a desperate spot while also playfully teasing that a move could be coming down the...
A look at the Detroit Lions Week 8 snap counts against the Tennessee Titans, including how the defensive line continues to adapt to obstacles.
Let’s take a detailed look at the Detroit Lions Week 8 snap counts from their 38-point win over the Tennessee Titans. Two things to keep in mind this week: first, the Lions constantly had the ball in great field position because of special teams and turnovers, so the snap counts are lower than normal (just 48 plays on offense); second, with such a massive lead, the Lions turned to their backups in the fourth quarter.
