In this week’s Detroit Lions News Podcast, host Joe Chapp welcomes co-host James back to the show as they dive deep into the Lions’ post-bye outlook. From the Vikings’ QB chaos to the Lions’ elite defensive metrics — including their top-ranked DVOA and Hutchinson’s league-leading pressures — the guys break down why Detroit’s defense has become a nightmare for opponents.

They also discuss Carson Wentz’s injury fallout, J.J. McCarthy’s uncertain status, and why the Lions’ offense still hasn’t hit full stride. Plus, Joe and James preview the upcoming Vikings matchup, examine trade deadline possibilities, and debate how Detroit’s schedule could set up a legit run for the NFC’s No. 1 seed.

Whether you’re a die-hard Lions fan or just love smart, passionate football talk, this episode delivers insider-level analysis and sharp humor from Detroit’s most authentic voices.

The Detroit Lions make a statement under the lights! In this postgame episode, we break down Detroit’s 24–9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — a defensive clinic led by Kelvin Shepard’s unit that held Baker Mayfield and the Bucs to just 3.9 yards per play.

Host Joseph Chapp dives deep into how the Lions overcame major injuries, what Dan Campbell and Jared Goff said postgame, and why this defense might be the best we’ve seen in the Campbell era.

We cover:

• How Detroit’s backup DBs Nick Whiteside, Eric Hallett, and Thomas Harper stepped up

• Jahmyr Gibbs’ record-breaking night and top speed stats

• Aidan Hutchinson’s 56% chip rate and how teams are game-planning for him

• What this win means for the Lions’ playoff push and NFC seeding
