Many fans were left disgruntled over yet another controversial call in a Detroit Lions game.

In the Lions’ 41-34 loss to the Rams in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon, every single point mattered. So when a controversial touchdown call late in the third quarter popped up, many were quick to cry foul.

Rams tight end Colby Parkinson looked to be down at the 1-yard line, but it was ruled a 26-yard touchdown, even after review. That gave the Rams a 27-24 lead, that would, in part, ultimately lead to Detroit’s loss. FOX rules analyst Dean Blandino tried to explain the...

An odd coaching and officiating sequence happened in the first quarter of the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams. After the Rams completed a 23-yard pass all the way down the Lions’ 3-yard line, Detroit head coach Dan Campbell threw a challenge flag.

It was an odd choice, because there didn’t seem to be anything challengeable on the play. The FOX broadcast could only speculate what Campbell was challenging. But we eventually got a little clarity when the officials got on the microphone. They announced that the Lions wanted to challenge the spot of the football, but were...

The loss to the Los Angeles Rams was not an unexpected outcome, but that does not make it an easy pill to swallow for the Detroit Lions.

The Lions sit at 8-6 on the season with three games left to play and things are dire. The odds of making the playoffs sit below 50 percent, and even those chances would require the team to win out and get some help along the way. Unfortunately, the Lions are in a situation no team wants to be: their playoff hopes are out of their control.

What they can control is their performance...

The Detroit Lions (8-6) and Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6) will square off in a Week 16 interdivisional battle between two teams with NFL playoff aspirations. While we know the outcome of the Lions’ Week 15 game, the Steelers have yet to play—they take on the Miami Dolphins on “Monday Night Football”—but that won’t prevent the sports betting sites from taking a look ahead to Week 16.

The folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook have set the initial betting line at Lions -7 points.

The Steelers currently sit atop the AFC North, but that is more an indictment of how much of a...

The margin of error is gone.

The Detroit Lions were facing a tough task against the Los Angeles Rams, and the NFC West titan showed why they are presently a Super Bowl favorite. The Rams offense was nigh unstoppable, churning out 41 points in a beatdown of the Lions defense. However, the Lions offense did their best to keep the game within striking distance. Unfortunately, a dreadful third quarter gave the Rams they never relinquished.

With three games left to go, the Lions are in must-win territory. If Detroit wants to make the playoffs, they need to play at an...

In their fourth matchup since the 2021 trade, the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams faced off in another close game. Detroit took the lead first, and while they were up 24-17 at the half, their adjustments made in the second half hurt the team. In the second half, the offense scored only 10 points, while the defense allowed 24 points. The Lions couldn’t overcome the Rams’ high-powered offense in the end as they lost 41-34.

Every game from here on out is a must-win game for the Lions. No more mistakes, and the team can’t do anything wrong in...

The Detroit Lions dropped their sixth game of the season on Sunday, losing to the Los Angeles Rams 41-34. At 8-6, they remain on the outside looking in for the NFC playoff picture, but they are far from out of it. In fact, the picture is as clear as ever.

Detroit didn’t get the key help they really needed in Week 15, but they did get some help. Let’s break it all down in our updated NFL playoff picture.

The Detroit Lions are holding onto a 24-17 lead at halftime over the Los Angeles Rams. Can they keep pace in this shootout and come away with a big road victory? Come chat with us for the final two quarters.

The Detroit Lions are running out of margin for error. Currently on the outside of the NFC playoff picture, the Lions can ill afford to lose more than one game in their final four. Technically speaking, if they go a perfect 4-0 in their final four, they’re onto the postseason. Anything less than that, and they’ll need at least a little bit of help.

Unfortunately for Detroit, in order to go 4-0 in the final month of the season, they’ll have to take down arguably the best team in football first. The Los Angeles Rams are 10-3, hold the No....

The Detroit Lions are on the west coast for a big game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Lions are the first team on the outside of the NFC playoff picture and will likely need to go at least 3-1 down the stretch to work their way in. A win over the Rams gives them a little breathing room in their final three games of the season, especially considering the Rams are likely the toughest game left on their schedule.

But the Rams have plenty to play for, too. They entered Sunday as the NFC’s top seed but with the...

The Detroit Lions (8-5) and Los Angeles Rams (10-3) have declared their inactives ahead of their Week 15 matchup, and the Lions got a bit of good and bad news on the injury front after a week full of bad news.

First, to recap the bad news. The Lions will be without their top three safeties in this game, as Kerby Joseph was ruled OUT on Friday, while Brian Branch was placed on injured reserve, and Thomas Harper was downgraded to OUT on Saturday after not clearing the NFL’s concussion protocol.

With the Detroit Lions’ big game against the Los Angeles Rams in the late window of Sunday games, fans can enjoy the 1 p.m. ET timeslot unencumbered.

Unfortunately, there’s really only one game that Lions fans should be tuning into during the early slot. The Cleveland Browns take on the Chicago Bears in a frigid game that could mean a lot for the Lions. In fact, if the Bears lose and the Lions beat the Rams later in the day, Detroit will jump into the final Wild Card spot with just three weeks remaining.
