Detroit Lions Run to the Playoffs in 2023-24 Season

By the end of the 2023 season, the Detroit Lions were atop the NFC North. Their final regular-season record was 12-5 and they made it to the NFL Wild Card round of the playoffs. They faced the LA Rams at home on January 14. In a tight game, the Lions came out ahead by a final score of 24-23. Jared Goff finished the game 22-27, with a total of 277 yards and one touchdown. Amon-Ra St. Brown had seven catches, 110 yards, and one touchdown. David Montgomery had 14 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown.  

In the divisional round, the Lions faced the Buccaneers in a game that was tight all the way to the fourth quarter. The score for score, the teams were tied. With just over six minutes left in the game, the Lions scored on a nine-yard touchdown pass to go up by 14 points. The Buccaneers would get the ball back for one more score, but time ran out and the Lions moved on to the NFC Championship game against the 49ers. 

During the halftime break of the NFC Championship game, the Lions were leading the 49ers by a score of 24-7. It seemed that the Lions were about to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl. That was before the 49ers scored 17 points in the third quarter and another ten points in the fourth. Lions fans came away hungry for another chance at the Super Bowl in 2025. 

Lions 2023 Draft Class

In the 2023 NFL draft, the Lions picked up Jahmyr Gibbs, Jack Campbell, Same LaPorta, Brian Branch, Dendon Hooker, Brodric Martin, Colby Sorsdal, and Antoine Green. To some, Gibbs was a surprise pick. After the Lions saw Jamaal Williams leave the Lions, and having picked Gibbs, D'Andre Swift was traded to the Eagles. The Lions running back duo for 2023 is quite young.  

Detroit Lions 2022 Season Recap

Lions fans were excited to see a huge improvement from 2022. The Lions final record was 9-8, and the team nearly made the playoffs. Jared Goff threw 29 touchdowns in 2022 and connected with Amon-Ra St. Brown many times. Aidan Hutchinson delivered 9.5 sacks for the Lions defense and made a huge impact on the defensive side. Jamaal Williams came from Green Bay and immediately improved the Lions run game. He finished the season with 17 touchdowns, a franchise record.  

Lions 2022 Draft Picks

The Lions made two bold draft picks in round one this year. Detroit had the second pick in the first round and they went for local favorite Aidan Hutchinson. Hutchinson played his college ball at Michigan. In his senior year, he impressed the NFL scouts with a record-breaking 16.5 sacks. He also scored high in pass-rushing overall. The Lions think that they have a rookie starter in Hutchinson. In that same round, the Lions traded away their 32, 34, and 66 picks to Minnesota, to draft Jameson Williams. Williams is a stand-out wide receiver. 

That left the Lions with six more draft picks. At the end of the draft, the team looks to sign Josh Paschal, Kerby Joseph, James Mitchell, Malcolm Rodriguez, James Houston, and Chase Lucas. In all, the team drafted six defensive players and just two offensive players. 

Detroit Lions Football History

The Detroit Lions were founded in 1930 in Portsmouth, Ohio and for the first four seasons of their existence were known as the Portsmouth Spartans. The Spartans played their home games at University Stadium, now Spartan Municipal Stadium. In 1934 the franchise moved to Detroit after they were bought by George Richards, the owner of WJR-Detroit, one of the most prominent and well-known radio stations at the time in the country. Richards purchased the Lions for a measly $7,952 and the move was official. The Portsmouth Spartans were now the Detroit Lions. The Lions originally played at the University of Detroit Stadium from 1934 to 1937 and again in 1940. In 1938 the Lions moved their home games to Tiger Stadium and remained there until 1974. From 1975 to 2001 they played at Pontiac Stadium, and in 2002 they moved into their current home, Ford Field.

Throughout their history, the Lions have made the playoffs 17 times. Those playoff games came mostly in the early years. The modern Lions made it to the playoffs just twice however since 1999. They were playoff bound in 2011, and again in 2014. The Lions have won their division just four times: 1935, 1983, 1991, and 1993. The Lions won the championship four times, their last victory coming in 1957. 

Detroit Lions 2020 Rebuilding Plans

Right now nobody quite knows what direction the Lions are going to go, or what they are even doing for that matter. With 2020 still in limbo, we will look to the past for what's ahead.

They have been trying with this current format since the turn of the decade and outside of a couple of wild card appearances, it hasn't produced very much. The Lions have been a "one-trick pony" on offense for a long time now, and one-half of their only offensive weapons is calling it a career. Nothing is official yet, but reports are that All-Pro wide receiver Calvin “Megatron” Johnson has informed the Lions he intends to retire this offseason. The other half of that one-trick pony, quarterback Matthew Stafford, is frustrating a lot of people because he appears to be regressing. Some have even suggested that if Johnson does retire, the Lions should trade Matthew Stafford this offseason and use that as an official starting point of a rebuild. Guess it is just waiting and seeing at the moment.

The Detroit Lions suffered through another poor season in 2018, finishing 6-10, and the worst team in the NFC North. As the season came to a close, and in the weeks that followed, there was serious speculation as to whether or not the Lions would opt to trade franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford. After all, Stafford recently signed a five-year, 135-million-dollar contract extension, so the math would be incredibly difficult to figure out in regards to finding a taker for his contract and figuring out the cap hit for both teams. One of the suggested teams was the Giants, but nothing materialized, and the Lions elected to hang onto one of the league’s best quarterbacks.

In free agency, the Lions made a flurry of moves. They added tight end Jesse James, offensive guard Oday Aboushi, defensive back Andrew Adams, wide receiver Tommylee Lewis, tight end Logan Thomas, tackle Andrew Donnal, cornerback Rashaan Melvin, running back C.J. Anderson, and quarterback Tom Savage, all for one season each. The multi-year deals were cornerback Justin Coleman for four years, defensive end Trey Flowers for five years, and running back Malcolm Brown for two years.

For the draft, the Lions ended up with nine selections by the time they were done wheeling and dealing. In round one they added another tight end in T.J. Hockenson from Iowa. In round two they started a run of four straight defensive selections, beginning with linebacker Jahlani Tavai from Hawaii. It is rare for a defensive player from Hawaii to be selected this high. Their next three selections were safety Will Harris from Boston College, defensive end Austin Bryant from Clemson, and cornerback Amani Oruwariye from Penn State. The following three selections were offense- wide receiver Travis Fulgham from Old Dominion, running back Ty Johnson from Maryland, and tight end Isaac Nauta from Georgia. They finished their draft with defensive tackle PJ Johnson from Arizona. The Lions decided to hang onto Stafford and try one last time to build a team around him. We will see how this story ends.

The Detroit Lions are the team that you would expect to compete year in and year out. Yet for some reason, they just can’t live up to expectations. 2017 was another one of those seasons for the team, as they finished 9-7, good for second place in the NFC North. So what did they do this offseason to change that?

Their first move was to change head coaches. They fired Jim Caldwell and replaced him with Matt Patricia. Next, they released tight end Eric Ebron, a former high-profile draft choice from just a couple of years ago that never panned out. In free agency, they signed linebacker Christian Jones, offensive guard Kenny Wiggens, running back LeGarrette Blount, tight end Luke Wilson, defensive tackle Sylvester Williams, linebacker Jonathan Freeny, center Wesley Johnson, and quarterback Matt Cassel.

For the draft, the Lions had just six choices, but made some head-scratching decisions with those choices, specifically round one, when they reached a big time for center Frank Ragnow from Arkansas, a projected late-second-round selection on many boards. In round two they went running back Kerryon Johnson from Auburn. In round three they went safety with Tracy Walker from Lousiana-Lafayette. In round four they went with defensive end De’Shawn Hand from Alabama. In round five they added some depth to the offensive line with tackle Tyrell Cosby from Oregon. They finished their draft with Nick Bawden, a fullback from San Diego State. The Lions, regardless of changing head coaches, did not have a good off-season. That does not bode well for 2018.
