Jackson Meeks with a big play to force the fumble, Lions recover and look to ice this game away.
Gill-Howard having a good game today, finally records a tackle.
Dobbs saw Martin that time on the route, just had too much pressure.
Kid just scored during a youth exhibition game at halftime and he and his teammates did the Jamo humping the end zone celebration. Kind of hilarious.
D.J. Reed, giving me Stephen Tulloch flashbacks. Never again.
No talk about Dylan McCaffrey by the commentary team, understandable.
Great read by Dobbs there, he fooled me too. Makes up for the interception earlier.
Wonnum follows up Moores nice effort with a sack, is there finally solid depth at the EDGE spot?
Awful decision by Dobbs. Had Martin wide open on the crossing route, he decided to run to the right and throw it right into coverage. QB2 battle far from over!
Larry Borom was a big factor in that strip sack turned pick up six. Not a good look for the OT3 job.
One of my favorite articles to write every year, the Madden simulation is back! What did #Madden predict will happen to the #Lions in 2026? Better than last year's prediction, that's for sure. www.prideofdetroit.com/detroit-lion...
Madden 27 predicts the 2026 Detroit Lions’ season

After the #Lions 16-14 loss to the Bengals, I came away with six takeaways from the game. From injuries, to the offensive line, and some impressive play by the defense, it was an interesting showing for Detroit. My takeaways: www.prideofdetroit.com/detroit-lion...

Tarik Black doing the Paul Bunyan pose...this ain't Michigan anymore bud.
Refs miss another facemask? They gotta work on that before September.
Hassanein with another big play tonight. As long as he survives the preseason, he'll have a spot in the rotation on Sundays.
Pointless waste of a timeout lol I guess get this out in the preseason.
Brandon Knapp@bknappblogs.bsky.social · last wk.Why go for it here? Pointless.
Refs missed a clear facemask, Lions can't catch a break even in the preseason.
Surprised Dobbs is getting reps in the first half. Maybe he and Altmyer will rotate in today?
Altmyer caused that fumble there, just lost the handle of it as he tried to give it to Saylors.
Lions defensive line doing well against this starting Bengals OL.
