08/31/2010 04:34 PM
Lions rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh grabbed Jake Delhomme's face mask, twisted it, wrapped his arms around the Browns quarterback's head and slammed him to the ground. Now the NFL is looking to see if the rough play warrants more than a 15-yard penalty.

After serious negotiations, National Football League 2010 second draft picks Ndamukong Suh is now an official member of the Detroit Lions. Suh has agreed to play for the Lions in the next NFL season and signed a five-year $60 million rookie contract. Lions coach Jim Schawartz is very happy with the decision of Suh to sign with the Lions since he had high hopes for the defensive tackle to perform ...

As the first week of the season comes to a close, the second most talked about rookie quarterback has been welcomed to the NFL. Matthew Stafford, after being selected first overall by the Lions and had the future of the franchise placed on his shoulders, was introduced to the culture of the team: losing. Completing 16 of 37 passes for 205 yards seems not too bad, but when you calculate in no ...

The unis have a sleeker look. The logo looks a little more menacing. That's all I got. After a historically dismal season in 2008 in which they went winless (in case you haven't heard), the Detroit Lions look to bounce back with baby steps this year and win a few games. There are new faces galore and some promise at certain positions, but depth issues and a daunting schedule likely may be ...

“Rod Marinelli won’t quit on 0-4 Lions” – article headline, ESPN.com, Oct. 6 “D’oh!” – Detroit Lions fans everywhere An ugly realization must be settling in like an ugly Honolulu blue-and-silver cloud over Detroit after the Lions’ worst performance yet in 2008 (and actually, their worst in quite a while, which is really saying something): Namely, this team is grievously in danger of finishing ...

10/02/2008 08:23 AM
Talk about a must-win: If ever a victory was needed for morale, this week’s Chicago Bears game is it for the Detroit Lions. Unfortunately, it’s tough to make the case that the Lions will get that ‘W’. Commentary: In the post-Matt Millen era, pessimism is surely quite unwelcome among a fan base already forward-looking for decades. But hey, folks, let’s be realistic. That realism – unless, of ...

“This story’s going to have a lot of legs as it moves on.” – Chris Mortensen on ESPN. Not since the days of Salome has a head been wanted on a platter this much. And so today, on Day 1 of a potentially bright future, we can proclaim R.I.P. to Detroit’s Matt Millen era! (By the way, the “P” there stands for “Punchlines.”) And a moment of silence for the imminent demise (at least ...

09/23/2008 08:16 AM
Hope you’ve been paying attention to the Detroit Lions’ season thus far. (It’s amazing that a train wreck like the 2008 Honolulu blue-and-silver express can actually command so little notice, isn’t it?) Hey, lack of time is no excuse; after all, this writer painstakingly sat through every minute of the Lions-49ers game – of course, my fantasy team has J.T. O’Sullivan and Isaac Bruce.

09/19/2008 08:18 AM
Remember way back in 2006, when much of the NFL hype was centered on Tony Romo, the heir apparent under center in Dallas? The Cowboys’ starting quarterback was Drew Bledsoe, your stereotypical declining veteran just barely dependable enough and essentially leading the team to a state of running in place at best. As the football world watched, everyone realized one truth (and were well ...

09/18/2008 08:04 AM
It almost seems like a rhetorical question at this point: Can things get worse for the 2008 Detroit Lions? Rhetorical, that is, until you consider this week’s slate and realize that the Motor City Kitties are drawing the San Francisco 49ers; hardly an over-threatening squad, to be sure, but one loaded with motivation for revenge. Commentary: Oh, boy, are the Lions – already looking like the ...

09/17/2008 08:29 AM
With each loss, the reason behind head coach Rod Marinelli’s continued stint with the Detroit Lions (aside from general inertia and probably the unwillingness of anyone else available to take the damn position) becomes more apparent: The Ford family and Matt Millen are looking for some comic relief, the Bill Gates to their Jerry Seinfeld. Indeed, Marinelli’s willingness to bring setup line ...

The NFL confirmed Friday that it has fined Lions rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh $7,500 for his hit on Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme in the second quarter of last Saturday's preseason game.

09/03/2010 09:32 PM
Go beat the Bears. That's all that matters now that the Lions' preseason is over, and mercifully so, ending without serious injury or incident Thursday night in a 28-23 victory over the Buffalo Bills at Ford Field.

09/03/2010 02:42 PM
Most of the objectives coach Jim Schwartz set for training camp were met. But if you thought Schwartz was handing bouquets after Thursday's 28-23 exhibition finale victory against the Bills, forget it.

09/03/2010 07:00 AM
Jahvid Best took the night off for the Lions exhibition finale. That meant Smith got some early work with the first-teamers and played nearly all of the first quarter.

09/03/2010 07:00 AM
Dorsey could ultimately be the victim of a numbers game when it comes to choosing the final running back spots on the 53-man roster. But if Dorsey is cut, it won't be for a lack of playmaking.

09/03/2010 09:32 PM
New York -- Ben Roethlisberger is getting time off for good behavior.

09/03/2010 07:00 AM
All of a sudden, losing Ben Roethlisberger for at least a month isn't the Steelers' only quarterback worry. Leftwich, expected to be the fill-in starter, is injured and looks lto be out indefinitely.

09/03/2010 07:00 AM
Step in to the NFL's Last Chance Saloon and look around. There's an impressive array of talent on display this season. LaDainian Tomlinson and Larry Johnson. Terrell Owens.

09/03/2010 07:00 AM
He's back for his third season with goals set even higher than a year ago: Run right past Eric Dickerson's NFL rushing record of 2,105 yards all the way to 2,500.

09/03/2010 04:22 AM
As always in the final exhibition, the only relevant thing to focus on is the play of the so-called bubble players. And the Lions have more than enough of those to keep fans watching until the end.

The Detroit Lions could make several waiver claims, meaning those players at the bottom of the roster could only be Lions for 24 to 48 hours.

09/03/2010 06:23 PM
The Lions believe they have some players, particularly at running back, receiver and tackle, who might upgrade another team's roster.

09/03/2010 07:50 PM
Detroit's rookie defensive tackle will not miss any games, as some had speculated.

09/03/2010 01:50 PM
Stafford was 3-of-6 for 21 yards and an interception; Stanton threw for two TDs.

09/03/2010 05:49 AM
There was no point in the preseason at which all of Detroit's starters in the secondary were on the field at the same time.

09/03/2010 05:47 AM
Check out a gallery from Detroit's win in its preseason finale Thursday at Ford Field.

09/03/2010 10:08 AM
It's foolish to think the Lions can be among NFL's surprise teams this season.

09/03/2010 02:18 AM
Matthew Stafford finished with three completions in six attempts for 21 yards and an interception.

09/02/2010 07:24 PM
Detroit's rookie defensive tackle has played well during the preseason, but he's not ready to settle for anything less than dominance. Check out today's Lions links:

Detroit Lions kicker Jason Hanson isn't going to go on forever, but I also think it's a little early to push him out the door.

The Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets are supposed to be among the ranks of Super Bowl favourites. They sure didn't look like it during the pre-season.

The Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets are supposed to be among the ranks of Super Bowl favorites. They sure didn't look like it during the preseason. Of course, those games also didn't count. That's the trouble with trying to make sense of the preseason. We don't know how much to take from the things we saw the last five weeks.

09/03/2010 09:10 PM
The Philadelphia Eagles on Friday released last year's Canadian Football League rookie of the year, Martell Mallett.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. - Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz isn't talking about the cuts he has to make by Saturday night.

09/03/2010 07:52 PM
Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz isn't talking about the cuts he has to make by Saturday night. The franchise, along with the rest of the NFL, must trim its roster to 53 players by 6 p.m. Saturday. "It doesn't do a whole lot of good for us to speak as an organization before we make those moves," Schwartz said Friday.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Detroit Lions rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was fined US$7,500 by the NFL on Friday for his roughing-the-passer penalty on quarterback Jake Delhomme in an exhibition game against the Browns.

09/03/2010 06:25 PM
Detroit Lions rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was fined $7,500 by the NFL on Friday for his roughing-the-passer penalty on quarterback Jake Delhomme in an exhibition game against the Browns. The No. 2 overall pick in April's draft grabbed Delhomme's face mask and twisted it, then wrapped his arms around the quarterback's head and slammed him to the ground in the second quarter of...

Progress is measured differently for the Lions. When you are trying rise from the rubble left by former president Matt Millen's regime, a certain number of wins or making the playoffs aren't necessarily the indicators of success.

Start with this: Is there a blueprint? Is there a definitive, creditable rebuilding plan in place? And for once the answer is yes. President Tom Lewand, general manager Martin Mayhew and head coach Jim Schwartz, if nothing else, are executing a plan.

In their second year they have already built an offensive foundation. They drafted quarterback Matthew Stafford and tight end Brandon Pettigrew last year. Those two, joining receiver Calvin Johnson, gave the Lions a starting point.

The goal over the summer was to build onto that foundation, to add...

The NFL fined Detroit Lions DT Ndamukong Suh $7,500 for his controversial hit on Cleveland Browns QB Jake Delhomme last week, an NFL official tells ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The league was expected to review the play, during which Suh grabbed Delhomme’s facemask then held the quarterback’s head as he slammed him to the ground. At the time of the play, the Lions were assessed a 15-yard penalty, but some thought Suh should have been ejected. Kyle Vanden Bosch said that would have been an overreaction.

09/03/2010 09:55 AM
First, no Ben Roethlisberger. Now, maybe no Byron Leftwich for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dennis Dixon, you're up next. Leftwich, expected to be the fill-in starter for the suspended Roethlisberger at quarterback for the Steelers, sprained his left knee in the second quarter as Pittsburgh (3-1) beat the starter-less Carolina Panthers 19-3 in the preseason finale Thursday night.
