Just when you thought Detroit’s defense was hitting its stride, the injury bug struck. And it didn’t show any mercy… First, defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike was sidelined with a hamstring injury. Then, it hit DE Josh Paschal with a blow that he could not find his feet to recover from (quite literally). Paschal went down with a knee injury in the second quarter. For the Lions, this was the ultimate blow. Or if we do you one better: it was the nail in the coffin. But what will it do to Detroit in the long run? Well, it’s hard to predict, considering their form. However, if anything, we started seeing the after-effects of it during the Bears game. Chicago trimmed down the lead to 20-23 by the 4th quarter. And you could see the Lions’ fans started to feel the unnecessary nervousness inside the Ford Field. Paschal’s injury happened on a Bears [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/chicago-bears/] pass play, leaving Lions fans holding their breath. If we lay out the post-injury in the order of events, then, first, the medical team checked him on the sideline before deciding that it’s better to call it a day there. Paschal head straight to the locker room, from where his return was labeled “questionable.” If you’re wondering who stepped up in his absence. Well, there’s hardly anything to ponder on, given the stretched-out depth chart they have. However, Patrick O’Connor saw more action. But let’s be real—O’Connor filling in isn’t exactly the plan Dan Campbell drew up for his Thanksgiving feast. No one in Detroit did! For a team already grappling with defensive depth issues, these injuries couldn’t have come at a worse time. The Lions [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/detroit-lions/] have been roaring this season, but losing two key D-linemen in one game? That’s a problem even their high-octane offense might struggle to mask. JOSH PASCHAL ADDS TO THE LIONS’ DEFENSIVE WOES The Lions D-line just can’t catch a break, can it? They must be breathless… Certainly, they are inactive. And now, Josh Paschal bites the dust. A key man in Detroit’s seven, he met the premature end to his game owing to a knee injury. I mean, Josh was the last person they wanted ‘out’. Why? Well, we can give you a sneak peek. But we’d suggest you watch some of his highlights to get the ultimate satisfaction. Drafted 46th overall in 2022, Paschal’s rise has been one of grit and perseverance (Ah! The Cliche’s, right? Wrong!). He’s the guy you root for. Remember when he beat malignant melanoma in 2018? But the footballing gods did not show mercy upon him as they tested him with shoulder surgeries. And yet, he found his footing as a power rusher, Paschal is as resilient as they come. But now, with 42 tackles and four sacks in just 28 career games, he’s sidelined again. Tough pill to swallow, huh? And it’s not like the Lions had defensive depth to spare. Already missing Aidan Hutchinson, Marcus Davenport, Derrick Barnes, and Alex Anzalone, Josh Paschal’s absence feels like the final straw. Throw in injuries to key offensive and special teams players—like Kalif Raymond and Taylor Decker—and Detroit is running out of healthy bodies faster than a two-minute drill. It’s starting to feel like the Lions are fielding a practice squad on Sundays, and yet, they’ve somehow maintained their hot start. Impressive, sure, but also a little nerve-wracking, don’t you think? If the Lions want to keep this dream season alive, they’ll need every ounce of their “next man up” mentality. As they say, a wounded lion is the most fierce. So, can you imagine what the wounded Lions would be like?

a break, can it? They must be breathless… Certainly, they are inactive. And now, Josh Paschal bites the dust. A key man in Detroit’s seven, he met the premature end to his game owing to a knee injury. I mean, Josh was the last person they wanted ‘out’. Why? Well, we can give you a sneak peek. But we’d suggest you watch some of his highlights to get the ultimate satisfaction.</p><p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Drafted 46th overall in 2022, Paschal’s rise has been one of grit and perseverance <em>(Ah! The Cliche’s, right? Wrong!). </em>He’s the guy you root for. Remember when he beat malignant melanoma in 2018? But the footballing gods did not show mercy upon him as they tested him with shoulder surgeries. And yet, he found his footing as a power rusher, Paschal is as resilient as they come. But now, with 42 tackles and four sacks in just 28 career games, he’s sidelined again. Tough pill to swallow, huh?</p><div id="scroll-4" style="margin:-1px"></div><p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">And it’s not like the Lions had defensive depth to spare. Already missing <strong style="margin:0px;display:initial;font-weight:bold;font-family:var(--secondary-font)">Aidan Hutchinson, Marcus Davenport, Derrick Barnes, </strong>and <strong style="margin:0px;display:initial;font-weight:bold;font-family:var(--secondary-font)">Alex Anzalone,</strong> Josh Paschal’s absence feels like the final straw.

Impressive, sure, but also a little nerve-wracking, don’t you think? If the Lions want to keep this dream season alive, they’ll need every ounce of their “<strong style="margin:0px;display:initial;font-weight:bold;font-family:var(--secondary-font)">next man up</strong>” mentality. As they say, <em>a wounded lion is the most fierce. </em>So, can you imagine what the wounded Lions would be like?</p><p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin"></p><div id="scroll-6"></div></div><div

Furthermore, the franchise was renamed to the Lions with reference to the city’s MLB counterpart franchise going by the Tigers. The very next year, they enjoyed tremendous success as they went on to win 4 championship games between 1935 to 1957. However, their success hasn’t seen the same peak since then, as they have only won a single playoff game in 1992. Additionally, they are the oldest NFL franchise to never appear in the Super Bowl. They also go down as the only team from the NFC to not appear for the same. This has long since been a talking point surrounding the franchise, considering their tenure in the league. Heading through to Week 14 of the 2020 season, the Detroit Lions have accrued a record of 5-8 and are placed 4th in the NFC North. However, this is an improvement from their previous season record that topped out at 3-12-1. Moreover, the principal owner Martha Firestone Ford stepped down and passed on the ownership to her daughter Sheila Ford Hamp on June 23rd, 2020. Logo The classic blue prancing Lion logo was brought into the fold from the 1961 season but wouldn’t be made the primary logo till 1970. The logo has seen minor reiterations, chiefly stemming from a stylistic change to the outline. The Honolulu blue outline was swapped for a black outline after 2002, and it ran until 2008. The present logo of the Detroit Lions has been active since February 1st, 2017, and underwent a minor tweak from the previous design that ran from 2009 to 2016. Chiefly, the difference was the change in the color of the outline, which went from black to metallic silver. Detroit Lions Owner Achievements Sheila Ford Hamp is a descendant of both Ford and Firestone family fortunes, and she became the principal owner in June 2020 when her mother Martha Firestone Ford stepped down. Prior to her role as the principal owner and chairperson, Sheila Hamp served as the vice chairperson of the Detroit Lions since 2014. Additionally, she serves on the NFL’s Super Bowl and Major Events committee alongside many key figures in the league. Following a 4-7 start to the 2020 season under her ownership, Sheila would fire General Manager Bob Quinn and Head Coach Matt Patricia. Detroit Lions 2022 Sponsors A marquee sponsor out of Detroit came in the form of Quick Lane Tire and auto center, which provides routine service and up-keep maintenance for its customers. Additionally, they have had successful tie-ups with Quicken Loans as well as Windsor Family Credit Union. Additionally, the Detroit Lions have also partnered up with Coppercraft Distillery and they offered branded products at 6 bar locations within the parameters of Ford Field. BetMGM has also joined up with the Lions and will be the first official sports betting partner for the franchise. Not to mention, the Detroit Lions have a partnership with Humanetics who serve as the presenting sponsor for the club. Events are put together to recognize and honor active duty and former service members.

After juggling with words for years, it still comes as a surprise how much there is to write and read. Despite being a software engineer, the will to keep on writing got me involved with poetry and later content creation. \r\n\r\nThe additional desire for storytelling and my history of athletics paved the way for EssentiallySports. With the dream to return to my athletic roots and absorb as much knowledge as I can, I am grateful to keep on learning new things every day about various sports.\r\n\r\nDespite being more of an off-court reader, the thrill that game coverage instilled within me got me more involved with the NFL. Even though the stories revolving around the NFL are very intriguing, the hype and energy of the games is the literal cherry on top for me. When I am not immersed in NFL gameplays and off-court stories, I am usually lost in writing poems, cooking, and playing with colors.","user_avatar":"\u003cimg data-del=\"avatar\" src='https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Garima-Yadav-1-96x96.png' class='avatar pp-user-avatar avatar-96 photo ' height='96' width='96'/\u003e"},"content_type":["Quick Hits","Events"]},"title":"What Happened to Josh Paschal?

Just when you thought Detroit’s defense was hitting its stride, the injury bug struck. And it didn’t show any mercy… First, defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike was sidelined with a hamstring injury. Then, it hit DE Josh Paschal with a blow that he could not find his feet to recover from (quite literally). Paschal went down with a knee injury in the second quarter. For the Lions, this was the ultimate blow. Or if we do you one better: it was the nail in the coffin. But what will it do to Detroit in the long run? Well, it’s hard to predict, considering their form. However, if anything, we started seeing the after-effects of it during the Bears game. Chicago trimmed down the lead to 20-23 by the 4th quarter. And you could see the Lions’ fans started to feel the unnecessary nervousness inside the Ford Field. Paschal’s injury happened on a Bears [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/chicago-bears/] pass play, leaving Lions fans holding their breath. If we lay out the post-injury in the order of events, then, first, the medical team checked him on the sideline before deciding that it’s better to call it a day there. Paschal head straight to the locker room, from where his return was labeled “questionable.” If you’re wondering who stepped up in his absence. Well, there’s hardly anything to ponder on, given the stretched-out depth chart they have. However, Patrick O’Connor saw more action. But let’s be real—O’Connor filling in isn’t exactly the plan Dan Campbell drew up for his Thanksgiving feast. No one in Detroit did! For a team already grappling with defensive depth issues, these injuries couldn’t have come at a worse time. The Lions [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/detroit-lions/] have been roaring this season, but losing two key D-linemen in one game? That’s a problem even their high-octane offense might struggle to mask. JOSH PASCHAL ADDS TO THE LIONS’ DEFENSIVE WOES The Lions D-line just can’t catch a break, can it? They must be breathless… Certainly, they are inactive. And now, Josh Paschal bites the dust. A key man in Detroit’s seven, he met the premature end to his game owing to a knee injury. I mean, Josh was the last person they wanted ‘out’. Why? Well, we can give you a sneak peek. But we’d suggest you watch some of his highlights to get the ultimate satisfaction. Drafted 46th overall in 2022, Paschal’s rise has been one of grit and perseverance (Ah! The Cliche’s, right? Wrong!). He’s the guy you root for. Remember when he beat malignant melanoma in 2018? But the footballing gods did not show mercy upon him as they tested him with shoulder surgeries. And yet, he found his footing as a power rusher, Paschal is as resilient as they come. But now, with 42 tackles and four sacks in just 28 career games, he’s sidelined again. Tough pill to swallow, huh? And it’s not like the Lions had defensive depth to spare. Already missing Aidan Hutchinson, Marcus Davenport, Derrick Barnes, and Alex Anzalone, Josh Paschal’s absence feels like the final straw. Throw in injuries to key offensive and special teams players—like Kalif Raymond and Taylor Decker—and Detroit is running out of healthy bodies faster than a two-minute drill. It’s starting to feel like the Lions are fielding a practice squad on Sundays, and yet, they’ve somehow maintained their hot start. Impressive, sure, but also a little nerve-wracking, don’t you think? If the Lions want to keep this dream season alive, they’ll need every ounce of their “next man up” mentality. As they say, a wounded lion is the most fierce. So, can you imagine what the wounded Lions would be like?

After juggling with words for years, it still comes as a surprise how much there is to write and read. Despite being a software engineer, the will to keep on writing got me involved with poetry and later content creation. \r\n\r\nThe additional desire for storytelling and my history of athletics paved the way for EssentiallySports. With the dream to return to my athletic roots and absorb as much knowledge as I can, I am grateful to keep on learning new things every day about various sports.\r\n\r\nDespite being more of an off-court reader, the thrill that game coverage instilled within me got me more involved with the NFL. Even though the stories revolving around the NFL are very intriguing, the hype and energy of the games is the literal cherry on top for me.
