Lions Win First Division Championship Since 1993

Dec 24, 2023 8:10 PM

Jared Goff wasn't even born the last time the Detroit Lions clinched a division title.

However, on Sunday, the veteran quarterback -- born in 1994 -- was at the forefront of the Lions' celebrations after securing their first division championship since 1993.

With the 30-24 win over the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit clinched its first division title in three decades, ending the NFL's second-longest active drought without a division title next to the Cleveland Browns (1989).

Teddy Bridgewater To Retire After The Season

Dec 16, 2023 12:48 PM

Detroit Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is winding down his NFL career, telling the Detroit Free Press he plans to retire after the season.

Bridgewater has been a little-used backup to Jared Goff in his single season with the Lions, appearing in one game to kneel out a victory over the Carolina Panthers in Week 5. But Bridgewater, 31, indicated he has no issues with his role.

Lions Will Find Ways To Get Jameson Williams More Involved

Dec 13, 2023 8:53 AM

The Detroit Lions have lost two of their last three games and will look toward Jameson Williams for a spark.

The Lions used a first-round pick on Williams in 2022.

"Yeah, we'll keep working with him," Dan Campbell said of Williams. "He's improving. We'll keep working to find some different ways to get him more involved. Because he is, he's putting the work in and he's improving. He's really no different than (Amon-Ra St. Brown). We keep finding ways to get Saint more involved. (Josh) Reynolds did some good things, (we're) finding ways to get him involved. Look, we're going to do what's best for us, and ask our guys to do things they do well. So yeah, absolutely, he's earned that. We're going to keep working on it."

Williams missed the majority of his rookie season while recovering from an ACL tear, then sat out the first four games of this year after being suspended for violating the NFL's gambling policy. 

He has just 13 catches for 195 yards and two touchdowns this season. The receiver has also rushed for 23 yards on two carries.
