detroit lions

The purple and gold have managed to win three in a row. The playoffs once were out of the question, but chances are improving.

Which sounds stupid, but it's true. They scored too early which gave the Lions time to catch up and score an extra point. And while the Lions are generally terrible, one thing they're good at is coming back for the victory at the last minute in the fourth quarter...

The Arizona Cardinals and Detroit Lions each won on the first Monday night of the 2014 NFL season. Here's a recap of the action:

Although only one NFC North team barely made it passed the .500 mark in the 2013 season, it was one of the most exciting years for the division.

It's apparent that the NFC North already has some of the best offensive players in the league.  For example, the Packers have a top-5 quarterback in Aaron Rodgers, Minnesota has one of the fiercest rushers of the 21st century in Adrian Peterson, the Lions have a matchup nightmare when Calvin Johnson…

Calvin Johnson had a game for the ages in the Detroit Lions' Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He caught a video game-esque 14 passes for 329 yards and a touchdown, making catches against anywhere from one to three defenders all over him. Is Megatron the best player in the NFL?

Detroit Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson broke his arm, but when it comes to eating he won’t have to break the bank.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola has apologized to the University of Wisconsin band director for remarks the player made to musicians during his team's game with the Green Bay Packers.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — James Jones caught a long touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers, and the Packers defense contained the undermanned Detroit Lions for a 22-9 win Sunday.
