DETROIT LIONS

Los Angeles lost its fifth straight last week, with Stafford (brain) missing his second game of the year. And as things stand, the Lions are slotted to receive Pick 3 via Los Angeles, with their pick at 13. Los Angeles hosts the Seattle Seahawks (6-5) this weekend, and Stafford’s status remains unclear. And back here in Detroit, the Lions will host the team slotted to pick one spot ahead of them. For the Detroit Lions, at least it’s progress.

ALLEN PARK -- Jameson Williams is likely still at least away from suiting up for the Detroit Lions, and Romeo Okwara too. “It’s been great being back out there with the team after, what, 13 months being out,” Okwara said recently. It was a huge relief because it’s been a long, long, long, long journey. It’s just a matter of time.”With all their injuries in the pass rush, the Lions want him to play too. The good news is guard Jonah Jackson and cornerbacks Jeff Okudah and Jerry Jacobs are all on track to play against Jacksonvile.

A person with direct knowledge of Von Miller’s injury told The Associated Press that tests showed no tear to the anterior cruciate ligament in the injured right knee of the Buffalo Bills star pass-rusher.

Rodriguez played 38 defensive snaps in the loss, the first time the rookie linebacker has seen that much work since suffering an elbow injury. Rodriguez was limited to 19 snaps in Week 9, then was eased back into action with 28 plays last week in New York. The rookie logged at least 46 defensive snaps through his first seven games, so it’ll be interesting to see where the rotation goes. -- James Houston left his mark on this game with only five defensive snaps. -- Benito Jones, while seeing 25 defensive snaps, was the team’s second-highest graded defender.

This post will run through MLive’s grades from Detroit’s loss on Thanksgiving:Quarterbacks: Jared Goff had another solid game. But it’s hard to address his performance without fixating on the third-and-1 missed opportunity to Chark in the final minute. And Jack Fox had another solid day punting. Ben Johnson called another solid game, highlighted by the team’s creative rushing attack -- see the designed run for St. Brown on fourth-and-1. But for the Lions to hang with the Bills and Allen for all 60 minutes while not feeling fluky?

DETROIT -- Amon-Ra St. Brown delivered another big day as the Detroit Lions hung with the Buffalo Bills in front of a national audience on Thanksgiving. And while St. Brown isn’t celebrating moral victories or anything of that nature, the second-year wideout knows his team hung in there blow-for-blow with one of the NFL’s best. St. Brown caught nine of 10 targets for 122 yards and one touchdown. It came down to the end,” St. Brown said. St. Brown has also added three carries for 13 yards during that span.

Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs were the catalysts of the Buffalo Bills' comeback victory over the Detroit Lions for the first Thanksgiving game of the day.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions (4-7) lost a heartbreaker in the final seconds on Thanksgiving, falling 28-25 to the Buffalo Bills (8-3) on Thanksgiving. It was a wild ride to the finish line, with the Lions tying things at 25-25 with 23 seconds left on the clock. “But that’s a hell of a quarterback (Allen) making a hell of a throw in a critical time. That’s another player making a heck of a play at the end to get themselves in that position. We just couldn’t quite close it out.”See below for MLive Detroit Lions beat writer Ben Raven’s video breakdown and more headlines after the team’s loss to the Bills.

DETROIT -- In the end, the Detroit Lions did what a handful of others have done against the Buffalo Bills: giving quarterback Josh Allen too much time. Detroit lost 28-25 to the Bills in Week 12 on Thanksgiving, with Tyler Bass nailing a go-ahead 45-yard kick in the final seconds. The Bills quarterback completed 24 of 42 passes for 253 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. This loss snaps Detroit’s three-game winning streak, with the Lions falling to 4-7 on the season.

The Buffalo Bills are back in Detroit and this time, they're facing the suddenly surging Lions.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions (4-6) are searching for their fourth straight win, with their toughest challenge of the season coming in the form of the Buffalo Bills (7-3) on Thanksgiving. We’ll try and answer three burning questions ahead of kickoff below:Can Detroit’s defense keep those takeaways coming? Last week, the Lions forced three turnovers against the usually efficient New York Giants. They’ll need more of that and then some against the powerful Bills and quarterback Josh Allen. It’s huge, we will -- we desperately will need them,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions (4-6) will have to get through one of the NFL’s elite teams to move their winning streak to four games. Detroit welcomes quarterback Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills (7-3) for this year’s Thanksgiving game at Ford Field. Here’s everything you need to know about the game from how to watch or listen, not to mention a recap of the week of news heading into the Thanksgiving game:GAME INFORMATIONHOW TO WATCHHOW TO LISTENIN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Thanksgiving Day will feature three NFL games, and all six teams involved are vying for potential playoff spots with the postseason just seven weeks away.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions will be without their starting offensive guards -- top four overall -- and key defenders Charles Harris (groin), Jeff Okudah (concussion protocol) and Josh Paschal (knee) on Thanksgiving. The Lions are already without guards Halapoulivaati Vaitai (back) and Tommy Kraemer (back), so things are tough on the interior of their stout offensive line. Awosika has logged eight offensive snaps since landing in Detroit. Skipper has allowed 16 pressures and two sacks across 289 offensive snaps. Awosika hasn’t seen much action, with eight offensive snaps, including one as an extra tight end on the season.

The FOX Sports NFL staff previews every game and makes predictions for each matchup in Week 12 of the NFL season.

The team is expecting more than 66,000 people on hand for the game, their second-highest attendance ever at Ford Field. Green Bay had lost four straight games before Detroit beat them. Winning three straight games is an achievement for anyone, and especially a rebuilding team like the Lions. But win four straight games, and do so against a team like that, well, that would be the kind of statement this team has not made in years. So coming off a three-game winning streak, winning a couple road games too, I mean, I know it’s going to be wild.

Aidan Hutchinson became the second Lions rookie in franchise history -- and of the season -- to win defensive player of the week honors. Lions rookie safety Kerby Joseph did so after intercepting Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers twice in the team’s Week 9 win. And Hutchinson becomes the third Lions player to win NFC player of the week honors, with second-year receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown achieving that in Week 2. Hutchinson became the first Lions defensive lineman to intercept a pass and recover a fumble in a game since 1993. It was Hutchinson’s second interception of the season.The prized rookie defensive lineman has continued to make plays in coverage, highlighting his instinctual play from the two-point stance.

And Detroit’s latest win even pushed them into the NFL playoff conversation at 4-6. That would have been nice to have a long week to enjoy it at least maybe a few hours longer. The guys understand what the things that we’re doing that are allowing us to win. This is the second Thanksgiving game for Lions quarterback Jared Goff. But that he feels “much more prepared for getting us prepared for this week.”The Lions lost 16-14 to the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving last year, falling to 0-10-1.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions have three days to cram for their Thanksgiving showdown with the Buffalo Bills, which doesn’t leave time for much else in these frantic days. But they still can’t help but get excited by what awaits on the immediate horizon: The NFL debut of Jameson Williams. “He’s just got so much speed, man,” quarterback Jared Goff said on Monday evening. But he’s been around so much at practice and in meetings that he should already have a good grasp on the playbook. Whenever he’s fit to see the field, Detroit could activate him because his speed will stretch defenses vertically in a way no one else can.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions’ offensive line is in rough shape heading into the short week. Center Frank Ragnow (toe) and guards Evan Brown (ankle) and Jonah Jackson (illness) were all listed as “out” on an estimated injury report that was issued Monday. Detroit did not actually practice, but had to file a report anyway with the Thanksgiving matchup against Buffalo looming just three days away. Cornerback Jeff Okuidah (brain), defensive end Charles Harris (groin), pass rusher Josh Paschal (knee) and receiver Josh Reynolds (back) also were “out” according to the report. Whether he’s close enough to actually make it back on the short week remains very much to be seen.

The Detroit Lions went to MetLife Stadium and stunned the New York Giants 31-18 for their third win in a row, thanks to their young defense and wily veteran Jamaal Williams, who had a historic day.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Detroit Lions have the longest winning streak in the NFC. They’ve continued to rise up the NFL draft board despite all of it, because the Los Angeles Rams have lost four straight games. And now Jameson Williams has received the green light to begin practicing. Williams will practice this week, and could make his NFL debut either next week against Jacksonville, or more likely the week after that against Minnesota. Detroit wraps up the season with games against Jets, Panthers, Bears and Packers.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- At 7:45 a.m. Sunday morning, Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill woke up in his luxury bed in a nearby Jersey City hotel. The Lions (4-6) ran away from the New York Giants 31-18 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, their third win in a row. And just like every other game during this midseason surge, it was the defense that helped them pull away. -- just bombarded the Giants with 10 pressures, the most ever by a man that size in the analytics era. Three weeks later, they still haven’t lost again -- and the rise of the defense has been the biggest reason for it.

The Lions (4-6) almost certainly won’t catch Minnesota (8-2), which has total command of the division. But Detroit is just 1.5 games out of the final playoff spot in the NFC, pending how San Francisco (5-4) fares tonight against Arizona (4-6) on Monday Night Football. Hutchinson joined Ndamukong Suh as the only rookie linemen to pick off a pass for the Lions since 1951. The Giants, who had lost just one game since Week 2 and had one of the best records in the league, never seriously threatened Detroit again. Detroit will be without its top cornerback too, after Jeff Okudah suffered a suspected brain injury in New York.

When the Lions started the season 1-6, the only rankings fans were thinking about was the NFL draft order for next spring.

The Detroit Lions (4-6) beat the New York Giants (7-3) 31-18 in Week 11 action from East Rutherford, New Jersey. This post will run through MLive’s grades from Detroit’s latest win:Quarterbacks: Jared Goff was in game-management mode against the Giants. Goff hit the throws the Lions needed him to hit, and there isn’t much more to say about that. Grade: BRunning backs: Justin Jackson probably earned more touches in this one, running nine times for 66 yards off the bench. The Lions moved the chains on the ground 12 times, averaging 4.3 yards per attempt on 37 rushes.

Week 11 of the NFL continued with the Chiefs coming out with a big win on Sunday Night Football. Here are the top plays!

Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions talked about how they were one play away and so close to winning some games through the first seven games of the season. The Lions (4-6) went to New York and dominated the Giants 31-18 for their first three-game winning streak since 2017. Watch the celebratory video featuring Campbell and interior defender Isiah Buggs from inside the locker room after the win in Week 11:“That doesn’t happen by accident. We stayed the course, which you guys have done, man,” Campbell told the Lions. That’s the way to win, man.

They’ve won three straight games to catapult themselves from the worst record in the league to within 1.5 games of the NFC playoff field. And while that has dropped the Lions (4-6) to 13th in the NFL draft order, they continue to move up anyway because of the Los Angeles Rams’ four-game losing streak. The Lions own that pick from the Matthew Stafford trade, a blockbuster deal that already helped them acquire Jameson Williams (after some subsequent draft-day maneuvering) and Ifeatu Melifonwu. The Rams went on to win the Super Bowl last year, so that trade is already a win for them no matter what happens. Los Angeles says Stafford will be evaluated on Monday before a determination is made about whether he will enter concussion protocol.

Every time I get tired or I think I can’t go no more, I think of that (expletive) record. Williams now has 12 touchdown runs on the season, which not only leads the league, but is a club record through 10 games. He’s run for multiple touchdowns five times already, which hadn’t been done by anybody since LaDainian Tomlinson set the single-season rushing TD record in 2006. At this rate, he’s on pace to break Sanders’ franchise single-season rushing TD record of 16, set back in 1991. Now he’s run for six touchdowns in the four games since, and the Lions have won three of them to surge back into the playoff picture.

The Detroit Lions (4-6) knew they had to stop Saquon Barkley to have any success against the New York Giants (7-3) in Week 11. Barkley hadn’t run for fewer than 53 yards in any other game this season. And he even managed to score that game, with at least 70-plus yards in every other game in 2022. In this one, the Lions stuffed Barkley short on a third-and-4, third-and-6 and third-and-1. He said the Lions won in the trenches, made their tackles in space and “bottled up the run game pretty good.”“That was outstanding, I was proud of our guys.

DETROIT - Watch out Lions fans, the Buffalo Bills seem pretty comfortable playing in the confines of Ford Field. The Bills (7-3) will be back at Ford Field on Thursday when they play the suddenly surging Detroit Lions (4-6) in a Thanksgiving matchup. So what can Detroit and Buffalo fans expect after this early visit by the Bills? No more homecookingBills fans showed up at Ford Field in a big way for Sunday’s game after the Bills made tickets available through a special presale. Expect some of the Buffalo fans to stick around the Motor City for a Ford Field double dip, but they will likely be in the minority next time around.

The Detroit Lions did exactly what they needed to do in their 31-18 win against the New York Giants in Week 11. They made life hard for star running back Saquon Barkley, and they pressured quarterback Daniel Jones, forcing turnovers against an efficient attack. Barkley, who entered the week leading the league with 931 rushing yards, was held to only 22 yards on 15 carries. Justin Jackson actually led the Lions in yardage, running nine times for a team-leading 66 yards.

Two weeks ago, the Detroit Lions pass rusher joined Ndamukong Suh as the club’s only rookie linemen to ever pick off a pass. Hutchinson’s two picks match the NFL record for a rookie defensive lineman, and this one -- like the last one -- was big too. He returned the ball 20 yards, giving Detroit possession at New York’s 18-yard line. Williams added another touchdown plunge on fourth down in the final minute of the first half, giving Detroit a commanding 17-6 lead heading into halftime -- a remarkable feat considering the cold temperatures and windy conditions that have slowed both offenses. Don’t look now, but the Lions are 30 minutes from their first three-game winning streak since 2017 -- and second place in the NFC North.
