Coming into the 2025 season, the Detroit Lions expected to contend for a Super Bowl, but after a week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, they are hoping to make the playoffs. Early in the season, the media chastised anyone who expressed concerns about the team's problems, particularly its struggles in the trenches.

n Week 12, the hope is that the "clean it up" (as Dan Campbell would put it) part of the season is over for the Detroit Lions. Following a 34-27 win at home against the 2-win New York Giants, it is clear that the team continues trying to find its stride.

The Detroit Red Wings lead the Atlantic Division after a 4-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken, improving to 12-7-1, their best start since 2012. What's the biggest change this season? Yes, Todd McLellan's influence cannot be overlooked, but more importantly, he has a young core developing that he can shape rather than remold.

The Detroit Pistons' winning streak has reached 10 games in a row, the first since 2008, on their way to their best start since 2005-06 (12-2). Every offseason for the last decade has seen Pistons fans and media clamoring about three-point shooting.

The Detroit Lions lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 16-9 in Week 11. The consensus: "Uh-oh." The Eagles are a good team (Super Bowl champions) and have an elite defense. The problem keeps popping up over and over: Stop the Lions run game and force Jared Goff to win a game behind a shaky offensive line.

The Detroit Pistons won their seventh straight game last night, defeating the Washington Wizards in overtime, 137-135. The Pistons entered the game in Detroit with the Eastern Conference's best record, while the Wizards entered with the worst. So, a blowout or an easy context might have been expected.

The Detroit Lions found a way to right the ship in Week 10, winning 44-22 against the Washington Commanders. They improved to 6-3 on the season. The Lions haven't lost back-to-back games since October of 2022.

In recent years, the Detroit Red Wings have found success with goalies such as Cam Talbot, Ville Husso, and Alex Lyon, who have gone on unbelievable runs. That has sometimes combined with hot streaks, like last year's power play (27%, the best in franchise history). This season, the team is off to its best start in 15 years, with a 9-5 record.

The 2025-26 Detroit Pistons are off to a 5-2 start, their third such start in the last 16 seasons. If they win their next game, they'll be off to the best start since 2008-09 when they traded Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson.

The Detroit Lions lost at home to the Minnesota Vikings due to penalties and poor execution. This once familiar type of loss has become unfamiliar to Lions fans. In the last few years, the Lions have become known for disciplined football. This week, they had 10 penalties totaling 76 yards, went 5/17 on third down, and allowed five sacks. This performance is very unusual.
