Lions center Frank Ragnow reiterates he is not considering retirement

Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow continues to reiterate that he’s not considering retirement.

As a fanbase, it was only natural for Detroit Lions fans to speculate how long center Frank Ragnow would continue to play in the NFL. The man has gone through a ton of injuries throughout his entire career—most notably a toe injury that has lingered for three seasons, causing him to be a weekly guest on the team’s injury report. Speculation only ramped up when Ragnow dropped some vague words about his future after Detroit’s exit in the conference championship game.

“I need to find a way...

Why Jared Goff has ‘a lot more’ pride in second contract extension

Five years ago, Jared Goff signed a massive deal in Los Angeles. Today, he spoke about why he takes a lot more pride in his latest deal with the Lions.

Five years ago, quarterback Jared Goff signed a four-year, $134 million contract with the Los Angeles Rams. It was a massive accomplishment for Goff, having seen his career blossom alongside Sean McVay to the point where the Rams made the Super Bowl months prior to the extension.

Now, Goff is in a similar situation, but in a new place. Having just taken the Detroit Lions to the verge of their...

Meko and Morgan discuss the Lions 2024 schedule release on the Pride of Detroit YouTube channel.

The Lions have a whopping nine nationally televised games, including four in a seven-game span. On top of that, they play in the primetime slot on five separate occasions as well. Truly an incredible slate for...

2024 Detroit Lions schedule repeats frustrating trend of past decade

2024 Detroit Lions schedule repeats frustrating trend of past decade

The 2024 schedule dropped, and the Detroit Lions are faced with another early bye week. When you look at the last decade, it shows an alarming trend.

When the Detroit Lions released their schedule for the 2024 NFL season, something immediately caught my attention: another early bye week?

Bye weeks have typically ranged from Week 4 to Week 14 over previous 10 seasons. From 2019 onward, the first slate of bye weeks has come in Week 5 (the NFL would not expand to an 18-week schedule until the 2021 season).

The Lions have the (likely) unfortunate luck of having the...

Erik Schlitt and Jeremy Reisman once again make their game-by-game projections for the upcoming Detroit Lions season.

The Detroit Lions 2024 schedule has been released and it’s once again time to make some way-too-early predictions for the season.
