Former Lions offensive coordinator John Morton has joined one of the AFC's top teams as a consultant for the postseason.

The Detroit Lions' ground attack declined in 2025 and the downturn adversely affected the entire offense. Fixing it is the top priority heading into the offseason.

The Detroit Lions traveled to Chicago as a broken and battered team, hoping to put together one last quality performance before the season was officially over. But before bidding this 2025 season

Gio Manu has played in just 4 games because of injuries and has developmental shortcomings since Detroit Lions traded to take him in 2024 NFL Draft.

Jared Goff throws for 331 yards and a touchdown, Amon-Ra St. Brown has 139 receiving yards and Jahmyr Gibbs adds 113 all-purpose for Detroit. The Lions (9-8) finish with a winning record for the fourth straight season for the first time since the early 1970s. 0:00 -- Jake Bates connects from 42 yards. Lions win!

The Detroit Lions had five players named to the Pro Bowl this season and now four of them have also been honored by being named All Pro. Linebacker Jack Campbell and right tackle Penei Sewell are First-Team All-Pro selections, and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson earned Second-Team All-Pro.

John Morton's shortcomings as an offensive coordinator were evident long before the Detroit Lions fired him Tuesday after one year on the job.

If there was one thing that was incredibly clear coming out of the Detroit Lions' 2025 season, it's that they need a new center. Graham Glasgow is likely to retire, and Frank Ragnow is not coming back.
