“It was time to get after him.” “We wanted to go out there and put on a little show.” Yeah, if you don’t think THAT was personal, you don’t know the Detroit Lions. They reminded the NFL who they were on Sunday. Story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/662...

The Lions lost a game in the trenches. Dan Campbell says there’s nowhere to go but up. But until then, a look back at what went wrong: www.nytimes.com/athletic/661...

In one of the more lopsided losses since this team turned the corner, the Lions didn't look like the Lions. An off day? A sign of things to come? Only time will tell. The Lions have plenty of it to figure things out. They couldn't on Sunday. Story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/660...

It is signed and dated by all, containing the three non-negotiables they collectively agreed upon — well before they’d even sniffed a win together. Leadership. Culture. Staffing. @coltonpouncy.bsky.social with the heater www.nytimes.com/athletic/659...

I would repost this even if it wasn’t the lions, just exceptional writing.

Four years ago, vowing things would be different, the six leaders of this Lions franchise signed a pact. It contains their core principles. It is signed by all, hanging in their offices. The Detroit Lions planned for turnover. Years before their turnaround. Here’s the story of how they did it ⤵️

As the post-Ben Johnson era begins, don’t underestimate Jared Goff’s role in keeping things afloat. “I feel like I’m at a point in my career now where I can handle quite a bit above the ears and take on a lot of that role they’ve given me.” Story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/659...

Appreciate Richard having me on

The Lions held a scrimmage this morning. Starting offense and defense got the bulk of the work. Aidan Hutchinson was the best player on the field. Had him with three sacks (with a fourth the team didn't credit). He looks phenomenal.

Offensive linemen are taught that the nagging pain you’re subjected to comes secondary to team success. Frank Ragnow has a master’s degree in this subject, writes @coltonpouncy.bsky.social. He epitomized it more than anyone in the league. www.nytimes.com/athletic/639...
