The Detroit Lions’ 2025 coaching staff is already starting to get picked apart.

According to a report from Dave Birkett, Lions tight ends coach Tyler Roehl is being hired as the next offensive coordinator for Iowa State. The team has not yet announced the hire.

Roehl is just a year removed from being the Cyclones’ assistant head coach/running backs coach, but he jumped at the opportunity to join Dan Campbell’s staff in the NFL when the position came open following Steve Heiden departure to become the New York Jets’ offensive line coach.

“I was really happy at Iowa State. I...

The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday that they have re-signed cornerback Arthur Maulet to the 53-man roster and waived tight end Ross Dwelley to make room for him.

Maulet signed to the Lions’ practice squad back in early October, and when the injury bug hit at cornerback, he got some significant playing time. Most notably, he was the team’s nickelback in the “Legion of Whom” win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In that game, he tallied five tackles and this key interception:

Maulet would go on to play nickel for Detroit for three more games before the Lions got back...

The Detroit Lions (8-5) got back in the win column, convincingly beating a hot Dallas Cowboys team by two touchdowns. But was that enough to sway voters to put the Lions back inside their top-10 rankings?

Let’s take a look at how things shook out in this week’s power rankings.

The Ringer: 5 (Previous rank: 6)

From Diante Lee:

Detroit’s offense is finding last year’s heights again, having scored 102 points in the past three weeks in spite of injuries and attrition. We should be celebrating this major step forward and forecasting what this unit can do in...

It’s not hyperbole to say the Detroit Lions saved their season with a Thursday night win over the Dallas Cowboys. Had they lost that game, their only likely path to the postseason would be to finish the year going 4-0 against a moderately tough schedule. Instead, the Lions have a little wiggle room. Detroit can likely finish the year 3-1 and still make the playoffs—provided that loss doesn’t come against the Chicago Bears.

But just how likely is it for Detroit to accomplish that and make their third-straight postseason? Let’s take a look at some playoff prediction models, and see...

On Monday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell showed some reservations about playing rookie guard Miles Frazier this week after the 2025 fifth-round pick got his first NFL action last week against the Dallas Cowboys. However, during Campbell’s weekly radio appearance on Tuesday, he seemed to suggest the Lions will continue to the guard rotation this week—between Frazier and Trystan Colon—against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

“I’d like to play Frazier a little bit again, but I like Colon,” Campbell said. “There’s things that can be cleaned up, but Colon did some good things, too.”

Last week against the Cowboys,...

The exciting Detroit Lions victory over the Dallas Cowboys this past week drew the highest number of viewers since Prime Video began hosting “Thursday Night Football.”

The matchup drew a record-setting 19.39 million viewers—the highest since Prime Video took over TNF in 2022. To put that in perspective, the average Thursday night game draws 15.2 million viewers.

Thursday’s audience broke the previous record set by NFC North rival the Green Bay Packer against the Washington Commanders this past September—17.76 million viewers watched that game.

Per Awfulannouncing.com, Prime Video has upped its audience each year, starting at an average 9.58 million...

The Detroit Lions’ Christmas game against the Minnesota Vikings is still a few weeks away, but the team already teased a special uniform choice for the nationally-televised game on Netflix. Over on Instagram, the Lions posted a series of photos, asking viewers to “unwrap an early Christmas present.”

When you scroll through the final photo, it reveals Penei Sewell decked out in Detroit’s black, “Motor City Muscle” uniforms. And if there was any doubt about that being the reveal, the Lions essentially confirmed in the comment section that they will, indeed, be wearing those black uniforms. Fans are continuing to...

As the Detroit Lions continue to look for solutions at safety after losing Brian Branch for the season to a torn Achilles, an interesting name has emerged from the NFL transaction wire. The Lions hosted former Los Angeles Rams third-round pick John Johnson for a visit on Monday.

Johnson is an intriguing option, because Lions general manager Brad Holmes was largely responsible for the Rams drafting him in 2017. Here’s Rams general manager Les Snead talking about Holmes the moment they drafted Johnson (via the Detroit Free Press).

“He was a huge John Johnson fan. We had got to...

Week 14 comes to a close with a “Monday Night Football” matchup featuring the Philadelphia Eagles (8-4) and the Los Angeles Chargers (8-4).

From an NFC playoff perspective, there’s not a ton for Detroit fans to pull for in this game. However, there is a tiny chance an Eagles loss could help the Lions, which means fans should be pulling for the Chargers to win. Here’s an excerpt from Jeremy Reisman’s rooting guide from Week 14:

Who to root for: Chargers

In all honesty, this game doesn’t mean much. After putting the Cowboys to sleep on Thursday,...

It appears Detroit Lions starting left guard Christian Mahogany could be closer to a return than expected. The second-year offensive lineman out of Boston College broke his leg in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings, but coach Dan Campbell said on Monday that they are currently planning to return him to practice this week.

“We’ll probably try to get him some work this week,” Campbell said. “I don’t know—a lot of it’s going to be what does he look like this week? And, honestly, I don’t expect a lot right now this week. But I do think he’s starting to...

The Detroit Lions won a pivotal game in their Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, but despite improving their odds to qualify for the playoffs, it came at a cost. Safety Brian Branch suffered an Achilles injury and will miss the rest of the 2025 season.

Per a report from Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the Lions are signing veteran defensive back Damontae Kazee to their club’s practice squad. According to the report, the intention is for Detroit to fast-track the veteran’s elevation to the team’s 53-man roster.

Kazee is in his ninth NFL season after...

On Saturday, Pride of Detroit had their annual Movember marathon stream to support the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer center. In total for the month, we raised over $32,500 for the cause—which is a testament to how awesome Detroit Lions fans, and more specifically, the Pride of Detroit community is.

Throughout the day, we hosted a litany of Lions-related guests and peppered them with questions about Thursday’s win over the Cowboys, how Detroit adjusts to life without Brian Branch, and each writer’s favorite story they’ve written about the Lions this year.

But the main topic of conversation all day was...
