For many players on the team, the 2021 and 2022 seasons are the only seasons they

The Defensive Dominance of the Detroit Lions
At the beginning of the season, the Detroit Lions had a historically bad defense. Throughout the first 7 games of the season, the Lions defense was giving up 31.7 points per game, which was dead last in the NFL. Furthermore, the Lions had a pitiful 1-6 record. However, in the past seven games, the Lions defense has only allowed 19.9 points per game. The Lions are 6-1
Wilson is an example of why young QBs aren’t always the answer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Zach Wilson's comeback story was going about as well as he and the New York Jets could've hoped. There were big-time throws, a pretty touchdown and loud cheers from the MetLife Stadium crowd. Then came the second half. And a devastating ending. Wilson had a costly interception to open the third quarter and the offense mostly stumbled after a promising start in
Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving lead Nets past Pistons, 124-121
DETROIT (AP) — Kevin Durant scored a career-high 26 of his 43 points in the third quarter, helping the Brooklyn Nets overcome a 17-point halftime deficit in a 124-121 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. Kyrie Irving added 38 points in Brooklyn's seventh straight victory over Detroit. Bojan Bogdanovic led the Pistons with 26 points. Durant was 8 of 10 from the floor, going 3
Eastern Michigan spoils big night from Detroit Mercy’s Davis
YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — Emoni Bates and Tyson Acuff scored 19 points apiece and Eastern Michigan spoiled a big night by Detroit Mercy's Antoine Davis in a 79-77 victory over the Titans on Sunday. Davis scored 30 points for Detroit Mercy (5-7) to zip past Bradley's Hersey Hawkins (3,008) into 10th place on the all-time scoring list. Davis, who came in averaging 24.3 points per game, upped
Detroit Lions had Jets guessing on late 4th down
IEAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions were stymied for most of the game, unable to get much going against the New York Jets. One stunning play reminded everyone how dangerous an offense they are. Goff threw a go-ahead 51-yard touchdown pass to Brock Wright on fourth-and-1 with 1:49 remaining, and the Lions held on for a 20-17 victory over Zach Wilson and
How Pistons Bench went from Worst to First
The bench was the Pistons biggest weakness during a disastrous start to the season. Through their first seven games, Detroit's bench only averaged 22 points per game. That was good enough for 30th in the NBA. The problem is, there's 30 NBA teams. Turnovers were not the big problem, but 36 percent shooting is difficult to overcome. That's losing possessions in itself. If this team was going
Rookie Comparison: Detroit Pistons Jaden Ivey and Indiana Pacers Bennedict Mathurin
Shame on you Detroit Pistons fans out there salivating at the scoring prowess of Indiana Pacers' rookie Bennedict Mathurin. Despite Jaden Ivey being on the home town team and the stats proving he's contributing in many more ways. I understand if fans of the Pacers want to declare a winner between the two before they've even played a full season, let alone 41 games. But what would
Detroit Lions Secondary: Concerning?
Despite an important win for the Detroit Lions, there was a glaring issue with their secondary's coverage against the New York Jets. The Lions absolutely stuffed the Jets run game, allowing only 50 yards on 22 total carries. The pass game was another story. New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson threw for 317 yards on 18-35, with two touchdowns and an interception. For context, Wilson, the second
The More, the Merrier: How Extra Court Time is Boosting This Rookie’s Game
Jaden Ivey's development as a rookie playmaker is critical to the Detroit Pistons future success. Fortunately, the season-long injury to Cade Cunningham leaves Ivey with unexpected court time to hone his skills. Jaden Ivey has incredible athleticism that allows him to excel as a scorer (and a defender, in spurts). Without a doubt, the ability to effectively distribute the ball to his teammates can take his game
Detroit Lions Scrap Their Way to Victory
The Detroit Lions have now extended their winning streak to three with a 20-17 win over the New York Jets. They have now won six of their last seven games, improving their record to 7-7. This game was exactly what it was expected to be: a battle. The two teams fought back and forth, resulting in 10 punts between the two teams. Of 20 drives, only six
