Amik Robertson has been locking down the #1 CB position since DJ Reed and Terrion Arnold have been out. Against the Bucs, he forced a fumble turnover. The left humerus fracture suffered in the playoffs last season is far in the rearview mirror.

Even without Glenn, Detroit’s defense ranks among the league’s best in generating pressure and takeaways. The Lions are thriving off cohesion and depth, two traits that often separate the good teams from the great ones down the stretch of a mentally and physically taxing NFL season.

The Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions could all use a significant addition along the edge, but a new trade rumor about the Las Vegas Raiders from NFL Network crosses one big name off the list of possible additions.

Campbell said he challenged whether Otton completed the process of the catch on a grab he made across the middle with 11:36 left in the game. Otton caught the pass with Alex Anzalone draped in coverage, then lost the ball when he hit the ground as he dived for a first down.

In his trade proposal, Moton has the Lions getting Crosby, while the Raiders acquire first-round picks in 2026 and 2027, a fourth-round pick in 2026, a fifth-round pick in 2027, and defensive tackle Roy Lopez.

The Lions saw their four-game winning streak come to an end Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. As a result, their stay atop the media power rankings was short-lived. The question is how far did the various media ranks drop the Lions?

The Lions coach praised Jahmyr Gibbs along with two key defenders for their efforts on Monday night versus the Bucs.

Gibbs was the explosive stick of dynamite the Lions needed to counter Todd Bowles’ well-coached, blitz-happy Buccaneers defense. In one of the best performances of his young career, he accounted for a career-high 218 total yards—a whopping 57.5% of Detroit’s offensive output.

Detroit put together a dominant defensive showing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a convincing 24-9 victory, holding Tampa Bay to just 252 total yards and nine points -- the third-lowest total for the Buccaneers under Baker Mayfield in his three years as their starting quarterback.

DETROIT - The next time you attend a Lions, Pistons, Red Wings or Tigers game, you may want to leave your tobacco products at home. According to reports from WXYZ and WJBK, Detroit City Council voted 7-2 in favor of an ordinance banning smokeless tobacco usage at sports venues in the city.
