When the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers face off against each other on Sunday, all eyes will be on the trenches. It’s for a good reason. The game will feature two of the best pass rushers in the game in Micah Parsons and Aidan Hutchinson—and those two will often be lined up opposite two of the most talented right tackles in the NFL: Zach Tom and Penei Sewell. That doesn’t even include the intrigue in both teams’ offensive lines, which have gone through some significant changes this offseason.

But as much as I love talking trenches, let’s talk about...

The National Football League is back, and it’s never been better.

But we’re not going to let ESPN rain on our parade, especially when Thursday’s game that kicks off the season is on… Peacock?! Alright, well, at least Friday’s game in São Paulo isn’t on Netflix or some other streaming service…

I give up.

Being a sports fan in 2025 is such a headache, and if you’re someone circumventing the stress through certain avenues and backchannels, it seems like it’s only a matter of time before the Feds come for your supplier, too.

Here at Pride of Detroit, we’re ignoring...

The Detroit Lions kick off their season against their division rivals, the Green Bay Packers, on Sunday afternoon. There have been countless storylines to follow throughout the offseason, training camp, and the preseason that are now about to come into fruition in Week 1.

Both teams have strong rosters, and both are looking to make a statement in their first game of the 2025 season. Heading into this NFC No0rth showdown, there are three key matchups to look out for:

Aidan Hutchinson vs. Zach Tom

The Packers recently made Zach Tom one of the highest-paid offensive linemen in league...

The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers will open their 2025 seasons in Lambeau Field this Sunday, in a key early-season divisional matchup. With the Lions facing off with the Packers twice a season, they’re very familiar with their offensive/defensive schemes and coaching staff, which saw no major changes this offseason.

“We’ve got a pretty good feel of them and they’ve got a pretty good feeling of us,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said on Tuesday. “We have new coordinators, but there’s things that we’re going to do that we believe in and aren’t going to change that much. And certainly,...

On Monday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell noted that the team was looking for a proven, veteran quarterback to fill out their room behind starter Jared Goff and established backup Kyle Allen.

“We’re looking for somebody, that if we need them, we know they can run the show,” Campbell said. “They can run the offense, they can process the information—more than, can we find a guy to develop that’s unknown, all of those. I’d rather have a guy, somebody that certainly if we’re familiar with or somebody you just know they get in the game, they’re going to get you...

The Detroit Lions will take on the Green Bay Packers in their opening games of the 2025 NFL season. As is the case with most beginning-of-the-year schedules, the Lions have taken a slightly different approach to Week 1. They practiced earlier in the week than they traditionally do, and as a result, Wednesday is a day off for the players. This means the participation levels for this opening practice are only estimations based on what the coaching staff projects each player to have been capable of producing, had this been a full practice.

With that in mind, let’s take a...

Every year, SB Nation tracks NFL fans’ confidence levels of their favorite teams with weekly Reacts Surveys posted at their team websites. For Pride of Detroit, we get the pleasure of gauging Detroit Lions fans’ confidence heading into each game.

For Week 1, our survey asks Lions’ fans how confident they are in the organization heading into the 2025 opening game against the Green Bay Packers.

Last season, the Lions opened with 99% of fans voting that they were confident in the team. However, after a Week 2 loss to the Bucs, that number dropped to 79%. By Week 4,...

As more and more preseason predictions come out just a day away from the NFL season opener, it seems the Detroit Lions may be able to play with a “chip on their shoulder” mentality this season.

When the Lions reached and lost the NFC Championship two years ago, expectations heading into last season were sky high. They were at the very top of every power ranking and expected to bulldoze their way to the Lombardi. But an unexpected Divisional Round playoff exit, plus the departure of both coordinators, seems to have shattered those expectations.

**[The Athletic conducted its annual poll...

The Detroit Lions are back-to-back NFC North champions for the first time in franchise history, and they have no intentions of letting that title go in 2025.

But the division has been on the rise for the past few years. The Minnesota Vikings went toe-to-toe with them in 2024, the Packers finished an impressive 12-5 last year, and the Chicago Bears may have hit the reset button this offseason, but their roster is more talented than a typical reboot.

So as we continue to offer our predictions for the 2025 season, it’s time for our selections of the NFC North...

One of the bigger surprises during the Detroit Lions’ opening practice of the regular season was the absence of rookie receiver Isaac TeSlaa. With no injury report until Wednesday afternoon, fans and analysts were left to speculate what was going on with Detroit’s third-round pick. But on Wednesday morning, coach Dan Campbell put the mystery to bed, noting that TeSlaa is dealing with an illness that he’s already recovering from.

“He just had a little bug,” Campbell told 97.1 The Ticket. “I think he’ll be alright here. He’s coming in the building today. He’s been in virtual (meetings). I know...

Without a doubt, the biggest loss to the Detroit Lions’ offense this year was the retirement of center Frank Ragnow. The four-time Pro Bowler wasn’t just an excellent athlete, blocker, and mauler, but his best asset may have been his intelligence. He was a mastermind when it came to reading defensive keys and getting the entire offensive line into the right protections nearly every time. He was lauded for his work ethic, being the first to arrive at meetings and the last to leave the facility. As Lions coaches have said all offseason, replacing Ragnow cannot be done with one...

It’s September, and that can only mean one thing: football is back! We had college football kick off on Saturday, August 30, but now it’s time for the big boys to play. No more training camp, no more preseason games, and no more debating who should be WR5 and CB6; the real games start now. To kick off the 2025 season, the Detroit Lions have a fun challenge, going on the road to take on the Green Bay Packers. This game already had some hype coming into it, but with the big trade the Packers made, it amplified the matchup....
