Week 14 was relatively kind to the Detroit Lions when it comes to their overall playoff odds. Most importantly, the Lions took care of business against the Dallas Cowboys, which pushed Detroit’s playoff probabilities from around 25-30% to 45-55%, depending on which model you prefer. While the Lions didn’t get external help because of Seahawks and Rams wins, the Packers’ victory over the Bears was the favorable outcome, and now the Lions are just a game away from a spot in the postseason.

That’s the good news. The bad news is this upcoming week looks like it could be rough...

Over a few short weeks, tight end has gone from a position of strength for the Detroit Lions to a glaring weakness. A season-ending injury to star Sam LaPorta alone threw the position into disarray, but the additional injury to Brock Wright left the Lions with scraps. Entering Week 15, Detroit’s active tight ends are Ross Dwelley, Anthony Firkser, and Hayden Rucci, none of whom were on the Lions roster back in training camp.

With four games left in the regular season, the Lions will be hard-pressed to replicate the production of their missing tight ends. However, it is nonetheless...

The Detroit Lions (8-5) and Los Angeles Rams (10-3) will square off in a Week 15 battle between two of the best in the NFC. With the NFL playoffs on the horizon, teams are fighting for positioning, and this game will likely have a significant impact on how things shake out in a crowded NFC.

With a dominating win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14, the Rams are back atop the NFC, currently holding on to the No. 1 seed in the conference. Meanwhile, the Lions are coming off a two-touchdown win over the Dallas Cowboys and currently find...

Let’s take a look at the NFC playoff picture after the Detroit Lions’ big win on Thursday night, and all of Sunday’s action in Week 14.

NFC North standings:

1. Packers: 9-3-1
2. Bears: 9-4
3. Lions: 8-5
4. Vikings: 5-8

The Lions are a game-and-a-half back of the Packers, and just a single game back of the Bears. Detroit’s odds of winning the division aren’t completely dead, but they’ll have to finish two games better than the Packers in the final four contests. Here are each team’s remaining games:

Lions:

• at Rams
• vs. Steelers
• at...

No matter what happens on Sunday, the Detroit Lions will be in striking distance of a playoff spot. After their big win over the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night, the Lions still remain third in the NFC North race, but it’s about to be a lot closer. Here’s where things stand as of Sunday morning (prior to 1 p.m. ET games).

NFC North:

1. Chicago Bears: 9-3
2. Green Bay Packers: 8-3-1
3. Detroit Lions: 8-5
4. Minnesota Vikings 4-8

With the Bears and Packers facing off at 4:25 p.m. ET, the Lions will inch closer to one of them....

There aren’t many better feelings on a football Sunday than the relaxed comfort that a huge Thursday night win provides. The Detroit Lions are 8-5 and just a game-and-a-half out of a playoff spot. By the end of the day, the Lions are essentially guaranteed to be no more than a single game out of the postseason. Lions fans can just relax knowing that no matter what happens on Sunday, Detroit’s playoff hopes are suddenly as alive as ever.

Of course, there are some favorable outcomes that will help the Lions, too. You can check those out in our Week...

The Detroit Lions’ commanding win over the Dallas Cowboys was one of the hallmark victories of the Dan Campbell era. With their playoff lives on the ropes, they gut-checked themselves and responded with an uppercut to the Cowboys—and another to the media narratives of their demise that lingered all week.

Campbell’s unit took down one of the hottest teams in football, pouring points on the board without their two-deep at left guard, two-deep at tight end, Kalif Raymond, Terrion Arnold, and Kerby Joseph—and with both Thomas Harper and Brian Branch going down in-game—and still won by two touchdowns.

Slowly, the...

With the Detroit Lions’ win over the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, suddenly there is hope again in the Motor City. The Lions suddenly have very realistic paths to the playoffs, whereas a loss would’ve likely dealt a death blow to their 2025 season. And once a team gets into the postseason, anything can happen.

Now, the Lions have a weekend to rest up, hopefully get healthier, and prepare for a big game against the Los Angeles Rams next week.

Many of us fans, though, will spend our Sunday watching NFL football and hoping the Lions get as much help to...

With the Detroit Lions’ big win over the Dallas Cowboys came a big blow to the team: the loss of Pro Bowl safety Brian Branch. Per a few national reporters, Branch is out for the rest of the season—and possibly some of 2026—with a torn Achilles. It’s a devastating blow for the Lions defense, not just because Branch is a fantastic player, but because he’s also such a versatile piece that allows the team to do so many different things defensively.

Here’s Dan Campbell explaining what Branch—along with linebackers Derrick Barnes and Alex Anzalone—allow the team to do things other...

What a difference a week can make.

After losing to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving, the Detroit Lions’ season felt lost. At 7-5 with playoff odds somewhere around 25-30 percent, many were already writing the eulogy of the 2025 Detroit Lions. When asked how many of the team’s five remaining game the Lions would win, over 65 percent of our community expected at least two losses—38.3% of you believed they would lose at least three games.

But after a fairly decisive win over the Dallas Cowboys, suddenly everything seems much more optimistic around these parts. It’s understandable, as the...
