DAN CAMPBELL

NFL has created Detroit knowing if it is out of, or still in, the playoffs before it starts in Green Bay. That matters to Seattle.

The Bears and Vikings don't have much to gain in Sunday's matchup, which is why Carmen Vitali argues both squads should sit their starters.

Right now, the Detroit Lions are one of the three or four best teams in the NFC. Yes, the Bears are terrible, but what Detroit did to them is what good teams do (or try to do) to bad teams. Whatever it is, the sight of a white-hot Detroit team is suddenly something to … fear? Calling Detroit a dangerous playoff team flies in the face of history. This is a franchise that hasn’t won a single playoff game in 30 years.

The Lions dominated against Chicago. With one week left in the NFL season, Detroit is surging and has a very real shot to make the playoffs.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell gave his props to interim Carolina Panthers head coach Steve Wilks after losing to him on Sunday afternoon.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell praised Mike White's toughness during a press conference on Wednesday, saying he has "a lot of respect watching him" play.

A team that's been down in the dumps for so long that it seems insane to say this, but the Detroit Lions are fun to watch. Now this might be getting ahead of myself, but with the Lions fighting their way into the playoff hunt, Dan Campbell absolutely deserves consideration for the coach of the year award. Yes, the Lions are only 6-7 on the year, but their progress on the field shows a team that’s greatly improved from a year ago. For that, Campbell deserves heavy consideration to be the coach of the year. Take notice, Dan Campbell for coach of the year.

A third-string QB looks like the real deal for the 49ers, while the Lions are rising as quickly as the Giants are fading. Geoff Schwartz breaks down Week 14.

Jared Goff threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns, leading the surging Detroit Lions to a 34-23 win over the NFC North-leading Minnesota Vikings.

Travon Walker and Aidan Hutchinson will always be compared to one another.

The Buffalo Bills employed a massive operation to get all of their players and staff dug out of the snow to depart to Detroit for their relocated home game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll recalled an interview he once had with Dan Campbell where the Detroit Lions head coach was "slamming chairs on the ground and hitting walls."

Dan Campbell is well aware of the stress Justin Fields can put on a defense. The Bears have revamped the offense, and Campbell wants his defense to be prepared to slow Fields down.

The NFL had a record-tying 10 coaching changes last offseason and three-quarters of the teams have changed head coaches at least once in the past five years. Here's a look at some coaches who figure to be on the hot seat if things don't turn around in the second half of the season and some assistants who could be in line for head coaching jobs. With Hackett's offense struggling with new high-priced quarterback Russell Wilson and new ownership in town, Hackett could one and done in his first head coaching job unless things change. After a failed stint as head coach in Tampa Bay more than a decade ago, Morris could be in line to get another chance. He has spent years as an assistant, working on offense, defense and as an interim head coach in Atlanta in 2020.

There has already been two coaching changes halfway through the NFL season with Indianapolis firing Frank Reich this week four weeks after Carolina did the same to Matt Rhule.

The Packers (3-6) have lost five straight for the first time since 2008 when Rodgers, their four-time NFL MVP, was a first-year starter. Detroit tried to seal the victory late in the fourth when coach Dan Campbell went for it on fourth-and-3 from the Green Bay 43. Campbell made a call on Green Bay's next possession that panned out, winning a challenge that overturned a Green Bay catch on fourth down. Rodgers responded with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard, but his 2-point conversion pass to him was broken up by Jeff Okudah, allowing the Lions to lead 8-6. Goff gave Detroit a nine-point lead with his second touchdown pass, a 3-yard throw to rookie tight end James Mitchell.

Aaron Rodgers matched a career high with three interceptions and threw an incomplete pass on fourth down from the Detroit 17 in the final minute, letting the Detroit Lions hold on for a 15-9 win over the Packers in a matchup of slumping teams on Sunday.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — (AP) — Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel offered handshakes and high-fives to his players as they exited Nissan Stadium following a victory two weeks ago. He’s one of 10 current head coaches with NFL playing experience, some with considerably more than others. Although there’s a rich tradition of NFL players becoming successful NFL coaches — Mike Ditka, Jim Harbaugh, Marty Schottenheimer, Don Shula and Dan Reeves, to name a few — there seems to be no direct correlation between the two. Campbell and Pederson built their staffs almost exclusively with former NFL players. Pederson’s staff includes longtime NFL players Brentson Buckner, Mike Caldwell, Bernie Parmalee and Deshea Townsend.

Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel played 14 seasons as an NFL linebacker.

A day after blowing a 14-point lead and allowing 382 passing yards in a loss to the Miami Dolphins, the Detroit Lions have fired their defensive backs coach. Head coach Dan Campbell announced the decision on Monday to part with Aubrey Pleasant in the wake of Sunday's 31-27 loss and a 1-6 start. "I think Aubrey is a hell of a coach," Campbell said at his Monday news conference. But Detroit's defense couldn't hold the lead as Tua Tagovailoa torched the Lions secondary with 382 passing yards and three touchdowns on 10.6 yards per passing attempt. They rank 27th out of 32 teams with 266.4 passing yards allowed per game.

Lions owner Shelia Ford Hamp preached patience when she spoke to reporters about the state of the team. Detroit is in last place in the NFC North with a 1-5 record.

Yet for now, despite seeing only four wins under Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes, Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp isn’t considering making any changes. Campbell and Holmes took over for the Lions in 2021, and the two have amassed a 4-18-1 overall record in that time. Campbell, who played for the Lions himself, said he had a lengthy meeting with Ford Hamp about the team this week, too. While Ford Hamp is patient now, things could certainly be different by the end of the year if Campbell and the Lions don’t start winning. "We've got a long way to go in this season," Ford Hamp said, via the Detroit Free Press .

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — (AP) — Detroit Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp shared her frustration with the team's 1-5 record and expressed confidence in the franchise's leadership. “I think we’ve got the right people in place to pull this off, and I truly believe that. “It was extremely thorough, and we really believe we’ve come up with the right people.”So far, Holmes, Campbell and their players have not led a turnaround. “I really believe in the top leadership in this organization. I think we’ve got the people to do it, to carry this out.

The Detroit Lions only scored six points in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and head coach Dan Campbell put his team on notice about their turnover issues.

Dak Prescott made his return from a thumb injury suffered in Week 1 on Sunday, and Ezekiel Elliott scored a pair of touchdowns in the Cowboys' win.

ARLINGTON, Texas — (AP) — Ezekiel Elliott ran for two 1-yard touchdowns and Dak Prescott threw for a score in his return from injury while the Dallas Cowboys leaned on their defense again in a 24-6 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The Cowboys (5-2) recovered Jamaal Williams' fumble inside their 1 with a four-point lead early in the fourth quarter. Jared Goff was responsible for four other Detroit turnovers — he threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles. Campbell's frustration showed when he threw his headset after Williams lost the ball in a pile and Anthony Barr recovered for Dallas with the Cowboys up 10-6. ... RB De'Andre Swift missed his third consecutive game with ankle and shoulder injuries after the Lions were hopeful he could return.

Ezekiel Elliott ran for two 1-yard touchdowns and Dak Prescott threw for a score in his return from injury while the Dallas Cowboys leaned on their defense again in a 24-6 victory over the Detroit Lions.

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell felt his offense needed to have a clean day. Jared Goff passed for 378 yards and four touchdowns, but Detroit struggled against Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks in a wild 48-45 loss on Sunday. Smith accounted for 369 yards and three touchdowns, and Rashaad Penny rushed for 151 yards and two TDs.

The Detroit Lions will be down at least one of their biggest offensive weapons this week after head coach Dan Campbell ruled out wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown for Week 4. St. Brown suffered a sprained ankle in Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings and told reporters Thursday he wasn't sure if he'd be able to play against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend. "It definitely was hurting out there on Sunday," St. Brown said regarding his injury. "Like I said, I never really dealt with a sprained ankle, but when I was cutting and stuff, it was definitely hurting but I just pushed through. It's a big loss for a Lions offense that looks like it'll be without running back D'Andre Swift as well, who missed Thursday's practice with ankle and shoulder injuries.

Minnesota Vikings come back from 10 points down to stun the Detroit Lions in Week 3. Kirk Cousins hooked up with K.J. Osborn with 45 seconds left for the win.

It's not clear if officials were counting Williams' hip thrusts a la Hingle McCringleberry. Williams' run mark the the 13th straight quarter to start the season that the Lions have scored a touchdown.

Matthew Stafford, Aaron Donald and the Los Angeles Rams will raise their Super Bowl banner Thursday night before kicking off the NFL season at home where they became the second straight team to hoist the Vince Lombardi trophy in their own stadium.

This was a good week for us.”Igwebuike had a solid game, carrying seven times for 32 yards, including his strong final run. But Blough wanted to show everyone he could rebound from last week's late turnover, which turned an almost sure win into another frustrating defeat. Boyle took over in the second half and led the Lions to two touchdowns. ... Craig Reynolds started at running back and had seven carries for 37 yards including back-to-back 11-yard runs in the first half. Colts: Linebacker Brandon King left the game in the first half with a hamstring injury and did not return.

Godwin Igwebuike's tiebreaking 2-yard run with 4:03 left led the Detroit Lions to a 27-26 victory at Indianapolis.

The Detroit Lions selected Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson with the No. 2 pick in the NFL draft, addressing a desperate need with a hometown star.

Back-to-back winning seasons were not enough for Brian Flores to keep his job as coach of the Miami Dolphins.

Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes in the first half and sat out the second half with nothing at stake as the Detroit Lions beat the Green Bay Packers 37-30.

Aaron Rodgers knows the Green Bay Packers, who have clinched the NFC's No. 1 seed, can't improve their playoff positioning with a win over the lowly Detroit Lions. The reigning NFL MVP still wants to play Sunday at Ford Field, even though that would increase his chances of getting injured. “There’s risk every time you take the field," Rodgers said.

The Denver Broncos honored the late Demaryius Thomas with a 38-10 win over Detroit and tributes including a video montage and a moment of silence.

"Those names, for all those will never be forgotten and they're in our hearts and our prayers," Lions head coach Dan Campbell said.

Jared Goff threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown as time expired, lifting the previously winless Detroit Lions to a 29-27 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions slogged their way to a 16-16 tie in an ugly nearly four-hour marathon that produced more comedy than highlights.

The Detroit Lions have a lot of long-suffering fans and they're starting to show their displeasure by simply not showing up for games to watch the NFL's only winless team at Ford Field. “When you don’t win a game and you’re 0-8 and you’ve lost at home, I’m not going to be upset with that," Campbell said Monday. The Lions announced a crowd of 47,192 on Sunday, when they were thoroughly dominated by the Philadelphia Eagles 44-6.

For eight weeks, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell has been consistent about one thing. “I got outcoached today; I didn't help these guys at all,” he said after Sunday's 44-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. “The coaches are giving us a great game plan, but they can only do so much,” safety Tracy Walker said.

Joe Burrow tied a career high with three touchdown passes, helping the Cincinnati Bengals rout the Detroit Lions 34-11 Sunday.

On Monday night, they led at halftime but fell apart the rest of the way and lost 35-17 to the Green Bay Packers. But he struggled the rest of the way as the Lions were outscored 21-0 over the final two periods. Green Bay scored touchdowns on two of its first three series, but its fourth possession didn’t come until only 3 seconds remained in the first half.

Detroit players joined a coordinated effort by the NFLPA to say they were going to stay away from the team's voluntary offseason program before most of them showed up for practices. Conversations with first-year coach Dan Campbell found enough middle ground for some players to think twice about skipping. “I think teams have done a good job of working it out between coaches and players,” agent Ron Slavin said. “All I can say is this is the first step,” Campbell said last month as offseason practices were starting. Dallas tight end Dalton Schultz, the team's player representative, said at least 20 veterans on his team have contracts with compensation tied to offseason work with the Cowboys.

NFL minicamps are mostly proceeding as planned as teams and their players discuss potential fundamental changes to the offseason structure.

The Detroit Lions hired Dan Campbell as their coach this offseason, but it appears they had their eyes on another target first.

Dan Campbell kicked off his tenure as Detroit Lions coach with some questionable decisions, including not having a quarterback during rookie minicamp.

They'll begin finding out this week when the 32 team owners hold virtual meetings Tuesday and Wednesday. Two items top the agenda: increasing the regular season to 17 games and decreasing preseason games to three per team. Both are nearly certain to be approved after a pandemic-stressed season that severely cut into the league's revenue stream. The media partners who just spent about $10 billion annually for NFL rights fees will get more content that counts, and fewer exhibition games. Ad“There will be automatic changes to the offseason and in-season workout schedules as a result,” said George Atallah, the NFL Players Association spokesman.

– Tyreek Hill was thrilled to hear that his first wide receivers coach, David Culley, was going to be an NFL head coach. After interviewing for six openings, Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy ultimately was passed over during the annual coaching carousel. That became official when the Houston Texans hired Culley, the long-time Andy Reid assistant who had been the assistant head coach in Baltimore. “I mean, I'm not a GM or anything but I will say, Coach Bieniemy has helped me a lot,” Hill said Thursday, after the Chiefs finished their first real practice for the Super Bowl. He wants to be a head coach.
