The Lions' search for a new offensive coordinator continues to expand. Current Falcons OC Zac Robinson is the latest candidate to line up an interview. Robinson will speak with Detroit today about the position, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. That makes two teams interested in his case. The Buccaneers have already interviewed Robinson for their OC opening. With a Todd Monken reunion seemingly unlikely, Tampa Bay could show continued interest in his case.

Their team had just pulled off a nail-biting, walk-off 19-16 win over the Chicago Bears to end their 2025 season. But the two men addressed reporters not with tears of joy, but instead mourning a season that began with the highest of expectations and ended, at 9-8, with Detroit failing to reach the postseason for the first time since 2022.

I mean I'm open to anything. I don't know exactly where I'm at with that yet. I mean I guess one of the good things if I did do that, you don't have to worry about somebody else leaving,

Joseph signed a four-year, $86 million extension in April after a First-Team All-Pro season in 2024, where he led the NFL with nine interceptions. He also became the NFL's first safety to record at least four interceptions in each of the first three seasons of a player's career since Hall of Famer Ed Reed (2002-04). Despite limited action, Joseph managed to snag three interceptions this season with 18 tackles and four passes defended.

The Rams are regarded as a Super Bowl contender - but first they have to make the playoffs. Coach Sean McVay's team can clinch a playoff spot if they defeat the Detroit Lions on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. The Rams are 10-3, lead the NFC West and hold the No. 1 seed in the NFC. A win over the Lions would guarantee a playoff spot for the seventh time in McVay's nine seasons.

"No matter what our record was, whether we were undefeated right now or didn't have a win, I was gonna do everything to be out there," St. Brown said. "Just to be out there for my guys. "I feel like availability is your best ability at the end of the day, so my job is to go out there and make plays and be on that field. It's what they pay me to do, so I was gonna do whatever it takes to be out there."

Detroit had big offensive performances against Chicago (52 points), Baltimore (38), Cleveland (34), and Cincinnati (37). But after that, the Lions offense really struggled with getting drives off the ground, there were a lot of three-and-outs. When Detroit's defense forced a turnover or put the offense into good field position, the offense failed to be opportunistic, sometimes failing to turn plus-field position into any sort of points.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions have placed second-year cornerback Terrion Arnold on the injured reserve list with a shoulder injury, which will sideline him for at least four games. Arnold, 22, has started in seven of his eight appearances this season, logging 31 total tackles, eight passes defended and an interception. He missed Monday's practice after being injured in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Jordan Love converted a pair of fourth downs with touchdown passes in the first half and finished with a career-high-matching four TD throws, leading the Green Bay Packers to a 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions on Thursday. The Packers (8-3-1) swept the season series to earn a potential tiebreaker in the NFC North and are in second place in the division behind Chicago (8-3), who play at Philadelphia on Friday.

The Lions have played every Thanksgiving since 1934, with the exception of 1939-44, despite the fact they haven't been a good team most of those years. The Lions played their first season in Detroit in 1934 (before that, they were the Portsmouth Spartans). They struggled their first year in Detroit, as most sports fans there loved baseball's Detroit Tigers and didn't come out in droves to watch the Lions. So Lions owner George A. Richards had an idea: Why not play on Thanksgiving?

Oh, come on... come on! That is terrible! That is an absolutely terrible call that's going to decide this football game! If anything, it's an offensive push! You want to call a foul, that's an offensive foul... wow.

But he was at his best on a 16-yard pass to receiver Jalen Nailor on third down to seal the victory. "We saw a lot of things that he's capable of doing," coach Kevin O'Connell said. "And we saw some things that as he continues his ascension and his growth, he'll only get better and better at."

Their upcoming busy offseason is just one of the many reasons why the Lions wanted to finalize the deal they completed last week with standout Aidan Hutchinson. The organization wanted clarity on Hutchinson's contract numbers, it wanted to structure the deal with cap flexibility to re-sign its other key players, and it knew the challenges ahead. With Hutchinson now signed to a four-year, $180 million extension that includes $141 million guaranteed, the Lions can begin preparing for another challenging offseason.
