Week 5: Carolina Panthers vs. Detroit Lions

Week 7: Detroit Lions vs. Baltimore Ravens

Welp, that was brutal. The Detroit Lions went to Baltimore and got absolutely pummeled by the Ravens. It was not the road trip that fans expected. Dan Campbell's Lions returned to Detroit with their tails between their legs.But the night is darkest before the dawn. This team will persevere and move forward being stronger for this loss. It starts on Monday Night Football against the Las Vegas Raiders. It is quite the favorable matchup for Detroit and also a chance at redemption for coming up short in Week 7.

Week 6: Detroit Lions vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

It's another road win! The Detroit Lions went to Tampa and licked the Bucs lollipops the day of their throwback creamsicle uniforms. The wins continue to stack up. And after a few losses by the Eagles and 49ers the Detroit Lions now sit atop the NFL standings; tied for 1st overall.One of our toughest tests of the season comes next week as we travel to Baltimore to battle the Ravens. Hopefully Justin Tucker doesn't kick another 66 yard, record-breaking field goal for the win and the Lions can return to Detroit with another feather in their cap.

Week 5: Carolina Panthers vs. Detroit Lions

It was another dominant performance in front of the Ford Field faithful. The Detroit Lions stuck it to the Panthers in a no-doubter. That seals a 4-1 start to the season which also so happens to be the best start in my lifetime.We look to next week as the Lions are back on the road taking on a more challenging opponent, the 3-1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tom Brady may be gone, but this team still has some fight in them.

Week 4: Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers

And just like that your Detroit Lions are in the front runners to win the NFC North. It was an absolute onslaught in Green Bay. Dan Campbell and the Lions came out swinging and have cemented their position as the top dog in the division. Quite the dominant performance to solidify the fact that this team is a contender.Next Sunday we are back home taking on the Carolina Panthers. Last year they completely embarrassed the Lions and ultimately kept the 2nd year Dan Campbell team from reaching the playoffs. Will the men of Detroit make this a grudge match? Or will they discount a seemingly inferior opponent and pay the price? Time will tell, but I'm siding with the team of destiny.

Week 3: Atlanta Falcons vs. Detroit Lions

Just when SOME thought this team was out for the count, they bounce back in a tremendous fashion. The Detroit Lions put on a defensive clinic in front of the Ford Field faithful and showed they have what it takes to be a solid defense. The Falcons are far from an easy opponent. But Detroit continues to stuff the run. Nice to finally see some pass rush from these guys too!As much as we'd like to relish in this victory, the Lions are moving on to their next opponent. The Green Bay Packers. We are just a few days away from our 2nd primetime game this season and we travel to Green Bay for Thursday Night Football. This is a huge game not only due to our rivalry, but the implications it has on the standings of the NFC North. Let's see if Dan Campbell can improve his career record to 4-1 against the Packers.
