Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions locked in from the start and delivered a bounce-back performance. It came with a few team records, too.

Already banged up, the Detroit Lions were beaten, too, last week. This seems as good a time as any to visit Chicago.

Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson is aiming to return from a gruesome injury and help the franchise play for the NFL championship.

The Detroit Lions are coming off their first loss in three months, but head coach Dan Campbell says now is not the time to panic and start acting like things are worse than they are.

Detroit’s patchwork defense got even more threadbare in a 48-42 loss to Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, losing three contributors to possible season-ending injuries.

The NFC-leading Detroit Lions are playing the AFC East-leading Buffalo Bills in a marquee, late-season matchup that might be a Super Bowl preview.

An Ohio politician said he’s introducing a bill to make flag planting in sports a felony in the state. His proposal comes after the Nov. 30 fight at the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry football game when the Wolverines beat the Buckeyes 13-10 and then attempted to plant their flag at midfield.

Campbell has been perhaps the NFL’s most aggressive coach since taking over what was a league laughingstock in 2021, but he turned it up a notch against the Packers with a short-handed defense that he wanted to keep off the field.

The Big Ten Conference announced it fined Michigan and Ohio State $100,000 each for violating the conference’s sportsmanship policy for the on-field melee at the end of the Wolverines’ win in Columbus on Saturday.

The Detroit Lions have been dominant for much of the season, leading the league in point differential after routinely routing opponents. Against Chicago, the Lions were good enough to extend their winning streak to 10 games.
