Delby Lemieux had never played center in his life before the Senior Bowl this week. Why the best OL in the Ivy League might be worth keeping an eye on as the Detroit Lions look for their long-term solution at the position www.freep.com/story/sports...

MSU P Ryan Eckley impressing NFL teams at the Senior Bowl this week with his leg - and his hands www.freep.com/story/sports...

Lions assistant Marques Tuiasosopo was supposed to play in the Senior Bowl a quarter century ago. He got hurt and couldn’t go. Now he’s there as a coach, making sure others make the most of their opportunity. www.freep.com/story/sports...

Video: Nadame Tucker quietly had a huge season for Western Michigan this year. Now, one of the NCAA’s most productive pass rushers is opening eyes at the Senior Bowl www.freep.com/videos/sport...

As he should be. If they didn’t want to promote him, he should be going elsewhere. Would like to see Jim get a HC job again

I'm a Hall of Fame voter and my colleagues got it dead wrong on Bill Belichick. Some transparency on the process and how I voted www.freep.com/story/sports...

I caught up with Lions GM Brad Holmes about the Drew Petzing and Mike Kafka hires. He said Petzing is "very sharp, very just open-minded" and will bring his offense: 'This is his show' www.freep.com/story/sports...

As a Hall of Fame voter, I think it’s crazy Bill Belichick didn’t get in on first ballot.

6 players to watch for Detroit Lions at Senior Bowl this week www.freep.com/story/sports...

Detroit Lions add ex-New York Giants interim coach Mike Kafka to offemsive staff www.freep.com/story/sports...

Lions QB Jared Goff going to the Pro Bowl as a replacement for Sam Darnold

I thought he was just short of that first down

Heck of a game. Much better than the snow bowl we saw in the AFC.

Boneheaded penalty and Stafford makes him pay

Davante threw the hand to the ear after the TD catch, one of the fans in the stands threw him a double bird back lol

JSN is so nice

I think we got another Seattle-New England Super Bowl coming, even though I picked the Rams at the start of the playoffs. What do you like today?

I don’t get the Mike McCarthy hire

Mail's here: On Drew Petzing's fit as OC, where the Detroit Lions could go at LT if Taylor Decker retires and picking between Dan Campbell and Ben Johnson as HC www.freep.com/story/sports...

Let's do a Lions mailbag for Sunday. New OC, upcoming offseason moves, playoff games this weekend, whatever's on your mind.

Detroit Lions OT Dan Skipper ‘reporting as retired,’ ready to begin coaching career www.freep.com/story/sports...

Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson a finalist for Defensive Player of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year awards www.freep.com/story/sports... via @freep

'Window's wide open' for Ennis Rakestraw to play a major role in Detroit Lions secondary in 2026 www.freep.com/story/sports...

Lions DE Ahmed Hassanein is excited for 2026 after returning from injury to spend half of last season on the practice squad: "[I want them to] see that and be like, 'OK, Ahmed earned it. We want to take Ahmed to battle with us.' This is what I strive for." www.freep.com/story/sports...

Heck of a game. Lot of big-time performances from players on both teams. Bain. Mendoza, Toney, Ponds, Becker. And what a story Indiana football is under Cignetti.

That has a chance to be just a crushing penalty. And I think I would have gone for it on fourth down.

Heck of a call on fourth-and-5, and great run by Mendoza.

I know he'll get knocked for the short arms in the draft process, but man, Rueben Bain is so good.

Ben Johnson from 12-26 mentions his relationship with new Lions OC Drew Petzing

As you get ready to watch the national championship game tonight, 5 NFL draft prospects to keep an eye on who would fit the Detroit Lions www.freep.com/story/sports...

Nope. Petzing expected to call plays. It’s in the story www.freep.com/story/sports...

More on why the Lions picked Drew Petzing as their new offensive coordinator, and who else was in the mix www.freep.com/story/sports...

Confirmed: The Lions are hiring Drew Petzing as their new offensive coordinator. It was a wide-ranging search. Lions interviewed 9 candidates for the job, Petzing is a young up-and-comer who had HC interviews last year www.freep.com/story/sports...

10 head coach openings this hiring cycle. The Lions play 6 of those teams next season: The Bills, Dolphins, Giants, Falcons, Cardinals, Titans.

5 NFL draft prospects who could interest the Lions in tonight’s Indiana-Miami title game www.freep.com/story/sports...

Most consecutive years without a Super Bowl appearance, division: 16: AFC South, 2010-25 (current) 14: NFC North, 2011-24 (current) 10: NFC Central, 1986-95 9: NFC West, 1970-78 8: AFC East, 1974-81 8: AFC North, 2013-20 8: NFC Central, 1977-84

Heck of a finish. What’s your Super Bowl matchup?

Backyard Caleb is the best Caleb

I think I would’ve gone for two there

Holy!!! Wow

Bears have dropped so many passes tonight (not blaming a tackle eligible!)

I know it’s 7-7, but Bears look better than the Rams in just about every way (but fourth downs) so far

I know Curt Cignetti said he’s staying in college. Wonder if Lions will talk to Indiana OC Mike Shanahan (no relation to the NFL Shanahans, I don’t think) or co-OC Chandler Whitmer (prev w/Falcons/Chargers) after the title game. They’ve cast a pretty wide net so far, might be worth the conversation.

Wow

WTF was the 49ers kicker doing? Dive for him, don’t try to trip him. And does the Seahawks ST coordinator not watch Lions film? Kick it out of bounds after the personal foul

Ex-Lions OC John Morton has a new job, and the Lions aren't done with their first round of interviews yet www.freep.com/story/sports...

I don't watch a ton of ESPN Countdown just because of my schedule on game days, but they do a good job. Great chemistry, insightful, good stories. That's a good pregame show.

Pros and cons of the Detroit Lions’ known OC candidates: From Mike McDaniel to Arthur Smith www.freep.com/story/sports...

The Lions couldn't stop the Steelers rushing attack in late December with their season on the line. Now they're going to interview Steelers OC Arthur Smith for their vacant coordinator job www.freep.com/story/sports...

The Detroit Lions are "really happy (with) the trajectory" Isaac TeSlaa is on, and GM Brad Holmes said he has no regrets about trading 3 third-round picks for the WR or where it left him at this season's trade deadline www.freep.com/story/sports...
