A big development in Detroit as the Detroit Lions fired special teams coordinator Brayden Coombs after a a bout of insubordination where Darrell Bevell wanted to punt and Coombs decided to fake it anyway.

The Lions -- if they weren't there already -- head into full-on 2021 mode now, so we discuss the present and future of interim head coach Darrell Bevell and quarterback Matthew Stafford, and why if the Lions move on it has nothing to do with his talent.

The Detroit Lions made a hire Tuesday -- no, not for the general manager or head coaching spots, but another, newly-created position assisting owner Sheila Ford Hamp and president Rod Wood.

Figuring out where the Detroit Lions stand in the general manager and head coaching searches is a tricky proposition.

The Detroit Lions lost again to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday and if that wasn't bad enough for Detroit, quarterback Matthew Stafford left the game with a rib injury, too, and did not return.

This episode it brought to you by Pepsi, Indeed and BetOnline.

It was improbable and still stunning. The Detroit Lions, in Darrell Bevell's debut as a NFL head coach, pulled off a 10-point fourth quarter comeback to beat the Chicago Bears.
