The Detroit Lions Podcast

Detroit Lions Make a Statement in Baltimore | Detroit Lions Podcast The Detroit Lions stunned the football world with a decisive Monday Night Football win over the baltimore ravens, marking their first-ever victory in Baltimore and flipping the early-season narrative on its head. In this week’s episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, we break down how Dan Campbell’s team imposed their will against one of the NFL’s most feared opponents, what it means for Jared Goff’s growing reputation, and where the Lions stand in the evolving playoff picture. Jared Goff’s Efficiency and Offensive Balance One of the podcast’s key themes was the versatility of this Lions offense. Against the Bears in Week 2, Goff carved up Chicago through the air. Against Baltimore, Detroit leaned on the ground game, piling up over 220 rushing yards and four touchdowns behind the duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Goff was quietly surgical again, completing 20 of 28 passes with no turnovers, highlighted by a clutch fourth-down strike to Amon-Ra St. Brown. Listeners will appreciate how the episode contextualizes Goff’s performance within national narratives. Despite playing mistake-free, efficient football, Goff continues to be overlooked in league-wide conversations until he proves it on the postseason stage. The show makes the case that, like Lamar Jackson, Goff is playing at a level that demands recognition—if not now, then certainly by February. Defense Turns Up the Heat on Lamar Jackson Detroit’s defense once again started slow, giving up a touchdown on Baltimore’s opening drive, but Kelvin Sheppard’s unit adjusted brilliantly. The Lions recorded seven sacks, tying the most Lamar Jackson has ever taken in a game. The pass rush, led by Aidan Hutchinson, consistently collapsed the pocket, while coverage improved as the night wore on. Not every storyline was glowing. Rookie corner Terrion Arnold struggled early, finding himself trending on social media for the wrong reasons. But as the podcast notes, the secondary settled down once the front seven took over, and the Lions’ ability to adjust midgame highlights the growing maturity of this defense. Dan Campbell’s Team, and What’s Next Perhaps the biggest takeaway is cultural: this is Dan Campbell’s team, and the national media can no longer dismiss him as a “meathead motivator.” From fourth-down aggression to locker room accountability, Campbell has built a program that responds to adversity—whether it’s a Week 1 loss to Green Bay or a hostile road environment in Baltimore. With Cleveland and Cincinnati on deck before another primetime date with Tampa Bay, Detroit has the chance to build on momentum and position itself atop the NFC North and the wider NFL power rankings. As the podcast emphasizes, this isn’t just a hot start—the Lions are built to contend, and the best football may still be ahead.

Detroit Lions vs Baltimore Ravens Post Game Show: Detroit Lions Podcast Reacts Detroit Faces Baltimore on the National Stage Monday Night Football gave us the Detroit Lions against the Baltimore Ravens in a matchup that will shape early perceptions of both teams. For the Lions, this was about responding to a shaky start to the season and proving they can compete under the lights. For the Ravens, it was about defending their home field with Lamar Jackson leading the way. On our post game show, we are focusing on the storylines that emerged no matter the final score. How did Jared Goff manage the pocket against Baltimore’s defensive front? Did Amon Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams make the kinds of plays needed to stretch the Ravens’ secondary? Were the Lions able to contain Derrick Henry and limit the explosive potential of Jackson, who always poses a unique dual-threat challenge? These are the questions that will define how we judge Detroit’s performance in Game 3 of the NFL season. Key Factors That Shaped the Contest There are several areas we will break down on the show. First is the battle at the line of scrimmage. Detroit entered this game already dealing with injuries on the offensive front, and Baltimore’s defensive line has a reputation for creating havoc. How well the Lions were able to protect their quarterback and establish the run will be central to the discussion. Second is defensive resilience. The Ravens can beat you in multiple ways. Lamar Jackson’s ability to extend plays, combined with Henry’s downhill running, puts pressure on linebackers and safeties. Did the Lions front seven step up, or did Baltimore dictate tempo? On the other side, how did Detroit’s pass rush impact the rhythm of the Ravens’ offense? Third is coaching and adjustments. Dan Campbell’s staff faced a unique test against a Ravens team known for halftime changes and creative blitz looks. The way Detroit adjusted mid-game will say a lot about the growth of this roster and coaching staff. Finally, the turnover battle and discipline factor. Penalties and giveaways in a tight prime time game can tilt momentum instantly. We will examine how those moments shaped the narrative of Game 3. Listener Reactions on the Post Game Show The Detroit Lions post game show is not only about our analysis but also about your perspective. We will take live calls from listeners to capture the raw reaction of the fan base. Were you encouraged by what you saw? Do you feel the Lions are ready to contend with the NFL’s elite, or do concerns remain after this test in Baltimore? Whether the Lions came away with a statement win or suffered another frustrating setback, this Game 3 matchup provided plenty of talking points.

Detroit Lions Got Game! The Detroit Lions handled business in their home opener at Ford Field against the Chicago Bears and their new head coach Ben Johnson - Detroit’s former offensive architect turned rival. On today’s show, we unpack the key swing moments from Bears week, then pivot to a massive NFL spotlight game: a Monday night trip to face the Baltimore Ravens in prime time. Expect a fast, detail-rich breakdown built for fans on YouTube, Spotify, and all of your favorite podcast aggregators. Beating Ben Johnson meant beating your old tendencies. Detroit leaned into a newly formed rivalry to stay a step ahead of Chicago’s rules while protecting their own core identity - physical runs to set up in-breakers for Amon-Ra St. Brown, seam conflict for Sam LaPorta, and manufactured space touches for Jahmyr Gibbs. We highlight cleaner operation in the red zone, plus a quieter penalty sheet that kept Jared Goff in rhythm - crucial after Week 1’s stalls. Just as important: Detroit’s defense closed space on perimeter RPOs and tackled through contact, a must versus Johnson’s motion-heavy sequencing now that he’s officially in charge at Halas Hall. Bears Takeaways: Countering Ben Johnson, Reasserting Identity Monday Night Football Preview: Lions at Ravens - Edges, Matchups, Levers Baltimore’s star power is real - Lamar Jackson piloting an attack with Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers, and DeAndre Hopkins - but early tape shows pass-protection stress (five sacks in two weeks) that Detroit can leverage with line games and disciplined rush lanes. Contain first, squeeze second; win the edges without losing quarterback depth. Meanwhile, Lions DBs must win while the second level throttles Henry on runs. Oddsmakers have the Baltimore Ravens as home favorites on Monday Night Football - no surprise in that building. Kick is set for 8:15 p.m. ET from M&T Bank Stadium (ESPN/ABC), and Detroit’s path is clear: own first down, steal a possession (fourth-down or takeaway), and turn green-zone trips into sevens. Books are leaning Ravens straight-up while noting Detroit’s strong ATS profile the last two-plus seasons. Two news nuggets to monitor as we near kickoff: Baltimore’s edge rotation has been nicked (Kyle Van Noy’s status bears watching), and Chris and Jeff spent a chunk of the pod detailing rush-lane integrity to keep Lamar in phase. If that edge room is light, Goff’s play-action and quick-game to St. Brown/LaPorta can stress Baltimore’s single-high looks and force lighter boxes for Gibbs. If Detroit replicates the Bears template - clean pre-snap, efficient on early downs, violent tackling - and layers it with a spy/squeeze plan for Jackson, the NFC North leaders can flip the Monday-night script in Baltimore.

The Detroit Lions opened their 2025 NFL season with a disappointing Week one loss, but everything seemed to right itself in week two against the Chicago Bears. Where the offensive line struggled last week they dominated this week. Where the Defensive line couldn't buy a sniff of Jordan Love last week they basked in the musk of Caleb Williams. Where they couldn't cover a floor with a rug last week they... You get the idea. What were Detroit Lions fans treated to on Sunday, and what's in store for them next week?

Bisch & Brown vs the Chicago Bears Russ Brown and Scott Bischoff are back this week, and they're looking at what the national media are calling the Ben Johnson revenge game vs. the Detroit Lions. I seem to remember the Lions handing the offense to a no-name tight ends coach and putting an incredible amount of faith and trust in him while enabling his rapid career advancement through the coaching ranks, but what do I know, right? Will Caleb Williams give the ball to Kerby Joseph? How many times? Will Caleb Williams give the ball to Brian Branch? Will it be more or fewer times than he gives it to Kerby Joseph? Also, can the Detroit Lions offensive line recover in time for this week's matchup against the Bears' D-line? The boys have some opinions.

Detroit Lions Still Looking to Launch | Detroit Lions Podcast The Detroit Lions opened their 2025 NFL season with a tough loss on the road to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. In our latest episode, Detroit Lions Still Looking To Launch, we break down what went wrong in Week 1 and what needs to change as the Lions prepare for a pivotal Week 2 matchup at home against the Chicago Bears—now led by Ben Johnson, Detroit’s former offensive coordinator. Packers Postmortem: Slow Start, Missed Chances The Packers game offered an uncomfortable reminder that the margin for execution in the NFL is razor-thin. Jared Goff and the Lions offense moved the ball but stalled in critical spots. Protection breakdowns and untimely penalties blunted drives, leaving points on the field. Defensively, Detroit allowed Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers to exploit coverage mismatches and extend plays on third down. On the podcast, we ask tough questions: was this simply Week 1 rust, or do the Lions have deeper issues with discipline and situational football? The discussion highlighted the need for sharper red-zone execution, better balance between Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery in the run game, and more consistent pass rush to relieve pressure on the secondary. Bears Week: Ben Johnson Returns to Ford Field Looking ahead, all eyes are on Ben Johnson’s return to Detroit. After architecting the Lions’ explosive offense last year, Johnson now brings his creativity to the Chicago Bears as head coach. That familiarity cuts both ways—Detroit knows his tendencies, but Johnson also knows Goff’s strengths and weaknesses. In the show, we explore how Dan Campbell and Aaron Glenn can counter Johnson’s schemes. Will the Lions lean on tempo and power formations to dictate terms? Can Detroit’s defense stay disciplined against Justin Fields’ replacement-led attack, featuring heavy RPO and play-action wrinkles Johnson loves to dial up? Fans are eager to see how Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, and Jameson Williams can exploit Chicago’s young secondary in a must-win divisional matchup. Listener Reactions and Season Outlook Our live chat zeroed in on one theme: urgency. A slow start cost Detroit in Green Bay, and with the NFL spotlight growing brighter, the Lions can’t afford to stumble again at home. Week 2 against Chicago offers a chance to reset momentum, reclaim toughness in the trenches, and prove the Lions remain contenders in the NFC North. Listen to the full episode on YouTube and Spotify for in-depth NFL analysis and fan reaction as the Detroit Lions look to bounce back against the Bears and finally launch their 2025 campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqSTxbiTxRg Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast  Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming podcast!

Detroit Lions Post Game Reaction: Week 1 Loss to the Green Bay Packers Fixable Problems or Deeper Concerns? The Detroit Lions opened their 2025 NFL season with a disappointing Week 1 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. As fans sift through the emotions of frustration and anger, the focus turns to whether this was simply bad execution in a tough road environment—or something more systemic. Head coach Dan Campbell insists the problems are fixable. Missed assignments can be corrected, mental errors addressed, and coaching issues cleaned up. Still, the offensive game plan came under immediate scrutiny. Offensive coordinator John Morton is now facing questions after a debut that featured receivers bunched in ineffective route trees, linemen blocking ghosts, and a running attack that stalled repeatedly against light defensive fronts. The Lions offense managed only one touchdown while Jared Goff spent much of the afternoon checking down under pressure. Some fans had flashbacks to Joey Harrington as the short throws piled up, but a closer look shows Goff played smart football given Green Bay’s deep two-safety shell. He avoided forcing throws, limited turnovers, and worked within a system that needs better support up front. Leadership, Collaboration, and the Road Ahead Beyond X’s and O’s, the Lions face an internal test of leadership. Reports suggest Goff had influence on personnel decisions—most notably the move to start veteran Graham Glasgow at center over rookie Tate Ratledge. While Glasgow is experienced, the protection issues were glaring. If quarterback preference factored too heavily into that decision, the Lions must recalibrate who drives the process. Dan Campbell has built his tenure on grit, collaboration, and empowering players. But there comes a time when the coach has to reset priorities and demand execution. Week 1 exposed communication breakdowns and schematic flaws that must be resolved immediately. The good news? It’s still early. Sixteen NFL teams sit at 0-1 today. Campbell’s Lions have historically started slow, but the season is long. Beat the Chicago Bears this Sunday at Ford Field and the narrative shifts. The roster remains stacked—Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Aidan Hutchinson, and others didn’t suddenly forget how to play football. The bad news? The schedule ahead is brutal. Road trips to Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Baltimore loom large. Fixes must come fast, or the Lions risk sliding into a hole that talent alone can’t climb out of. For now, Detroit Lions fans can breathe, regroup, and remember: it’s just Week 1. But as this post game reaction podcast reminds us, the problems on display in Green Bay demand urgency, not excuses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYFMuXh65-g Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast  Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming podcast!
