Detroit Lions
With the Detroit Lions back on the top of the NFC North standings, they currently hold their own destiny to win their third-straight divisional title.
Week 10 wasn’t particularly kind to the rest of the division, resulting in the following standings through Week 10:
Here’s how each team fared this week:
Lions: Beat the Commanders comfortably with a 44-22 victory. Offense came back alive with Dan Campbell calling plays and the outcome was never in doubt.
Bears: Barely beat the Giants at home, 24-20. Overcame a 10-point fourth...

The Detroit Lions are back in their rightful place.
With the Green Bay Packers’ 10-7 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on “Monday Night Football,” the Lions have slid right back into first place in the NFC North through 10 weeks of the 2025 NFL season. Here’s a look at the updated division standings.
The Lions are above the Bears in the standings, because they have the head-to-head tiebreaker based on Detroit’s Week 2 victory over Chicago. The Packers have now lost...

Week 10 comes to a close with a “Monday Night Football” matchup featuring the Philadelphia Eagles (6-2) and Green Bay Packers (5-2-1). This matchup is sure to draw a lot of interest from Lions fans, from a pre-scouting and divisional seeding perspective.
The Lions will face both of these teams in the next 18 days, as they’ll travel to Philadelphia in Week 11 for a “Sunday Night Football” matchup, then host the Packers in Week 13 on Thanksgiving Day. For Lions fans looking to get an idea of where each of these upcoming opponents stands, this game could serve as...
Pride of Detroit
On Monday afternoon, the Detroit Lions announced that they have signed rookie edge rusher Ahmed Hassanein to their practice squad.
Hassanein was selected by the Lions in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he immediately captured fans’ attention with his “I’ll die for you, coach” mentality on the football field. While still very raw—he didn’t start playing football until he was 18 years old—Hassanein was an aggressive learner in training camp, soaking up any piece of information his coaches and teammates were willing to share. Throughout the preseason, you could see his growth happening every day, but...

Pride of Detroit
In Week 10, the Detroit Lions (6-3) got back to their winning ways, as coach Dan Campbell assumed offensive play-calling duties and led the team to a convincing 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders. Let’s take a look at how the Lions utilized their personnel on their way to their latest victory.
With the Lions up 44-22 and less than five minutes remaining in the game, the Lions benched their offensive starters for the final two drives. Allen went 0-2 on the day, failing to connect with...
Pride of Detroit
The NFL has suspended Washington Commanders defensive tackled Daron Payne one game after he sucker punched Detroit Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown in the second quarter of their Week 10 matchup.
As St. Brown approached Payne following Detroit’s third touchdown of the game, the Commanders defender swung his right into the chin/neck area of St. Brown. The infraction immediately drew a flag and resulted in an immediate ejection.
According to St. Brown, it all started a few plays earlier with a post-play scrum. And after the touchdown, he admitted he said something to Payne that clearly drew his ire.
“We...

The Detroit Lions are back to their blowout ways after a big win over the Washington Commanders. Not only was it a return to form for the team, but it was yet another example of why the Lions have something special in Dan Campbell.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. Here are my positional grades for the Lions’ Week 10 win over the Commanders.
While Jared Goff was devoid of any eye-popping throws or outstanding plays, he did what was more important: made the right reads and delivered accurate passes that allowed his receivers to maximize yards...
Pride of Detroit
Last week, the Detroit Lions were barely clinging to the final playoff spot in the NFC race. This week, after pulverizing the Washington Commanders and regaining their mojo on offense, they could very well finish the week in the NFC North’s top spot.
But that doesn’t mean a very tight and competitive playoff race isn’t ahead. The pretenders are starting to separate from the contenders, and there are at least eight teams with a very good chance to win one of the conferences’ seven playoff spots.
Here’s a closer look at the NFC playoff standings with a big “Monday Night...
Pride of Detroit
The Detroit Lions, who have not lost back-to-back games in years, kept that streak alive on Sunday in a 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders.
There are many players who should get a game ball for their performances in this win, but one group in particular played at a high level despite injuries and personnel changes this week.
Last week against Minnesota, this offensive line struggled. Jared Goff was sacked five times and the run game could not get going despite Detroit having two of the best backs in the league in Jahmyr Gibbs...
Pride of Detroit
The Detroit Lions (6-3) and Philadelphia Eagles (6-2) will square off in a Week 11 “Sunday Night Football” showdown between two of the best teams in the NFC.
While the Lions emphatically got back to their winning ways with a Week 10 victory over the Washington Commanders, the defending Super Champions have yet to play in Week 10, as they travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers on “Monday Night Football.”
Despite the week not yet being over, that won’t stop the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook from setting the **Week 11 initial betting line, which opens at...
Pride of Detroit
A blowout victory was just what the Detroit Lions needed to right the ship.
The difference between this week versus the Washington Commanders and last week versus the Minnesota Vikings was night and day. The week prior, little was working with the Lions offense. Jared Goff was under duress for most of the night and was sacked five times. The running backs faltered heavily, with Jahmyr Gibbs having arguably the worst game of his short-yet-stellar career. The team was 5-for-17 on third down attempts, many of which were third-and-long. During one stretch of the game, the Lions went punt, punt,...
