Detroit Lions
The 2025 NFL trade deadline is at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 4. At this point, it’s unclear if the Detroit Lions will be active players in the market. There are a handful of loose rumors connecting the Lions to certain positions, but coach Dan Campbell noted on Friday that he doesn’t expect the team to be very active before the deadline—while also not counting it out completely.
“I don’t. But that doesn’t mean we won’t,” Campbell said.
So this post will serve as the home for all the Lions trade rumors, as long as they’re from somewhat reliable...

The Detroit Lions, coming off a bye week, hosted the Minnesota Vikings for a divisional matchup but were not able to come away with a victory. Detroit’s offense did not look like their usual selves, but one player made an impact early on in this game.
Stats: 6 receptions, 97 yards, 1 TD
On Detroit’s opening drive on offense, Sam LaPorta was the offense. The third-year tight end took his first reception of the game for a 15-yard catch-and-run. On the very next play, he notched 11 more yards receiving. After a short run from...

If you were having trouble putting your finger on what’s wrong with the Detroit Lions offense, you weren’t alone. Everyone and their mother watching this football game was wondering the same thing, maybe even wondering out loud: “What’s going on?! This isn’t the Lions team we know!”
It’s the running game, folks. Detroit’s bread and butter, their identity for the past couple of seasons, it’s just not the same. It doesn’t look the same, it doesn’t feel the same, and it’s completely changing the dynamic of this offense for the worse. The way worse.
Obviously, it starts with how different...

In Week 9, the Detroit Lions (5-3) lost 27-24 to the Minnesota Vikings (4-4), a disappointing showing after coming off their bye week. Let’s take a look at this week’s snap counts to see how the Lions adjusted their personnel for the Vikings game.
This is one of those games where the box score can be misleading, as Goff’s statistical performance was solid, but his on-field performance looked rushed and full of poor decisions.

Without a doubt, the biggest storyline out of the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Minnesota Vikings was their poor offensive showing. After starting the game with an impressive six-play, 72-yard touchdown drive, here’s how the following seven drives went:
Over those seven drives, the Lions averaged 2.27 yards per play. By the time they got the ball again,...

The Detroit Lions turned in one of their worst performances of the year against the Minnesota Vikings, falling 27-24 to their divisional foes. While the score suggests a close battle, the Lions were playing from behind nearly the entire game, and they required a 3-for-3 conversion rate on fourth downs just to keep it close.
So, naturally, the report card this week is going to look a little ugly. Here are my grades for the Detroit Lions’ Week 9 game against the Vikings.
The offensive problems were multifaceted against the Vikings, but Jared Goff didn’t do the...

The Detroit Lions (5-3) and Washington Commanders (3-6) will square off in Week 10, in a rematch of last year’s NFC Divisional Playoff game. This matchup doesn’t quite have the same feel as last year’s game, as the Lions are coming off their third loss of the season, and the Commanders will be without their starting quarterback, Jayden Daniels, who suffered a dislocated non-throwing elbow in Week 9 and is out indefinitely.
Ahead of Week 9, the betting line for this game saw the Lions favored by just over a field goal, but after the fallout from Sunday, [the folks...

The Detroit Lions laid an egg on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, and now what seemed like a sure playoff spot is hanging perilously in the balance. Detroit’s division is tighter than ever, and while there are a lot of struggling NFC teams at the bottom of the conference, there are a few that will challenge the Lions for one of the last few spots. That’s especially true if Detroit can’t fix some of their more consistent issues.
Here’s a look at the NFC playoff picture through Week 9, not including the “Monday Night Football” game between the Cardinals and...

Are troubled waters ahead for the Detroit Lions?
A bye week is normally time to recover from early-season bruises and prepare for upcoming opponents. However, the Lions looked more rusty than ready on Sunday. Detroit was outmatched by the Minnesota Vikings, a team that had been coming off a 37-10 beat down at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers.
After a good start to the season, some doubt has crept into the minds of the Lions fandom. Now 5-3, are the Lions in trouble going forward? What needs to be fixed for Detroit to return to dominant form: a...

What better way to put a Detroit Lions loss behind you than to look forward to next week. Luckily, the NFL schedule has made it pretty easy for Lions fans to do that. That’s because Sunday’s action ends with the Seattle Seahawks taking on the Lions’ next opponent: the Washington Commanders.
The Commanders are in a bit of a desperate spot. They’ve lost three in a row and are 3-5 on the season—and things don’t get any easier in the near future. They’ve got the 5-2 Seahawks tonight, the “never lose two games in a row” Lions next week, and...

As a Toronto Blue Jays fan, I did not expect to feel further disappointment after losing Game 7 of the World Series in extra innings. Leave it to the Detroit Lions to make a bad weekend even worse for me.
Coming off a bye week, the Lions were heavily favored against the Minnesota Vikings—they were rested, they were healthier, and frankly, they looked better. Instead, it was Minnesota playing complementary football and Detroit struggling with execution. The Lions looked outclassed and now have to address some serious issues with the Washington Commanders coming up next week.

The Detroit Lions got beat up in more ways than one in their Week 9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Not only did they lose on the scoreboard, 27-24, but the team went through a myriad of injuries during the game.
Here’s a look at each injury and the latest news on each player.

Mahogany suffered what was officially called a knee injury after his leg whipped around and hit a Vikings player. The Lions’ left guard could not put any weight on his left leg and had to be carted off. After the game, Mahogany was on...
