WELCOME TO MOVEMBER!

It’s time for our fifth annual Movember Charity Drive, where we raise money for charity for the entire month of November. In addition to raising money, we’ll also be giving away prizes, running an auction, and doing a bunch of silly and humiliating stuff over on our YouTube and Twitch live streams.

Here’s everything you need to know about our 2025 Pride of Detroit Movember Charity Drive.

Charity

This year, we are again raising funds for the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center, specifically for their Men’s Cancer Research Fund. Voted the highest rated center...

Earlier this week, we published our latest SB Nation Reacts surveys, brought to you by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook, asking Detroit Lions fans two questions:

1. Are you confident the Lions are headed in the right direction?
2. What should the Lions do at the NFL trade deadline?

As for our weekly survey, we’ve seen things settle in after a bumpy few weeks following a Week 1 loss. After their last game, we saw fans’ confidence in the direction of the team land at 98%, and despite them being on a bye last week, there wasn’t much change,...

The Detroit Lions may be 8.5-point favorites over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but very rarely has a divisional win come easy for anyone in the NFC North. In fact, in the last nine matchups between the Lions and Vikings, six of them have been decided by one score or less. Additionally, at the 3-4, the Vikings are a pretty desperate team needing a win.

So the Lions can’t afford to take a week off here. The Vikings are healthier than they’ve been all season, and they’ve still got a pretty solid coaching staff that should have a good plan...

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell may end up regretting letting a little story slip during his Friday press conference. When asked if he and his wife Holly ever dressed up for Halloween during his playing days, Campbell said he had, and then revealed that he once dressed up as Marylin Monroe.

“I was Marilyn Monroe one year, alright. That was a long time ago, but—and that wasn’t here. I’m sure you could find some old stuff,” Campbell said. “But anyway, we paired up pretty good. Let’s just put it that way. So, Holly’s the creative one. She always had pretty...

The Detroit Lions (5-2) and Minnesota Vikings (3-4) have declared their Week 9 injury designations ahead of their Sunday NFC North showdown at Ford Field.

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 last injury report will be bolded.

Ruled OUT

• RB Craig Reynolds (hamstring)
• S Kerby Joseph (knee)
• LB Malcolm Rodriguez (ACL, still on PUP) — Days remaining in evaluation: 17

Reynolds injured his hamstring in Week 7 and has been unable to practice since. By being ruled out...

The NFL trade deadline is next Tuesday, November 4, at 4 p.m. ET, and while the Detroit Lions are always looking to be better—especially with Super Bowl hopes as high as ever—this may not be the year Detroit makes a big move. According to Lions coach Dan Campbell, the team is always keeping their eye open, but he’s not really expecting a move before the deadline.

“I don’t, but that doesn’t mean we won’t,” Campbell said.

The Lions coach admitted that general manager Brad Holmes often doesn’t involve him in the discussions until he finds a player that fits in...

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell offered three key injury updates for the team’s Week 9 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. It comes with both good and bad news.

The bad news is that safety Kerby Joseph is expected to miss his second straight game with a lingering knee injury.

“I don’t see Kerby playing this week. He’s going to need a little bit here,” Campbell said. “The negative is, yeah, I don’t think he’s going to play. The positive is, he’s getting better. He really is. It’s just going to take a minute here.”

Joseph leads the team with three...

Fresh off a bye, the Detroit Lions are back in action this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

The boys in Honolulu Blue return to Ford Field for an NFC North showdown at 1 p.m ET.

At Pride of Detroit, we’ve got Vikings’ offensive and defensive scheme breakdowns from Erik Schlitt, a scouting report from Brandon Knapp, and a look at Brian Branch’s mindset coming off his suspension from Jeremy Reisman.

Once you’re done with that assigned reading, I put together some picks, score predictions, and commentary from other NFL analysts on who they think will come out on top in...

I don’t know about you, but Halloween has always been a favorite holiday of mine. Think about it. You get an excuse to eat candy, dress up—if that is your thing—and to watch even more horror movies than usual. Maybe that last part is just me, but you get the picture.

With the holiday falling on a Friday this year, it got me thinking about a poll ESPN ran back in the day that was centered around Halloween and the NFL. Who was the scariest player in the league? And given the fact that this was sometime in the early...

The Detroit Lions are fresh off the bye week. The Minnesota Vikings had a little mini-bye after a Thursday night thrashing. Both teams are entering Week 9 with a little bit a rest and a few more players ready for action.

But looking around the sports universe this week, it doesn’t seem like many are expecting a competitive game between the 5-2 Lions and the 3-4 Vikings. Detroit is currently favored by 8.5 points, per FanDuel, and most of the expert picks rolling in have the Lions by a comfortable margin.

Is that fair? Is that what the statistics suggest?...

The Detroit Lions (5-2) and Minnesota Vikings (3-4) will square off in a Week 9 NFC North battle at Ford Field. This will be the first of two times these teams will face off this year (they will meet again in Week 17), and represents the Lions’ third NFC North game of the season.

“The Vikings, good divisional opponent,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said on Tuesday. “Got a lot of respect for what (Vikings Head Coach Kevin O’Connell) KOC has done out there and that staff and that team. They’ve had a lot of success, have always found a way...

I told you guys I would eventually get one, I just needed time to warm up. I nailed my bold prediction for the last Detroit Lions game, and I’m looking to start a streak this week. There were a lot of good options to choose from in this matchup, but I decided to focus on the offense once again.

Coming off their bye week, the Lions stay home and take on the Minnesota Vikings for the first time this season. The Vikings enter with second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who’s returning from an ankle injury that held him out for six...
