Detroit Lions 2024 Season Results According to Madden 25

As a die-hard Lions fan with over three decades of fandom under my belt, I must say this season has been quite the rollercoaster ride! The Lions clinching a spot in the wildcard round is a testament to their grit and determination, despite facing some formidable opponents.


In the upcoming Detroit Lions’ 2024 season, we’ll be exploring the predictions made by Madden 25 to understand how the game anticipates the team’s performance this year. Last season under Dan Campbell as head coach, the Lions saw a significant improvement with a record of 12-5 and clinching the NFC North title for the first time since 1991. They even reached the NFC Championship game, a feat not accomplished by the team since 1991. This year, they’re aiming to surpass that performance as their potential for a Super Bowl run remains strong. So, let’s take a look at what Madden 25 predicts for the Lions during their 2024 season.

Week 1 – vs. Los Angeles Rams Lions 2024 Season Results According to Madden 25.

DET307717

Matt Stafford’s second comeback to Detroit saw significant improvement compared to his initial stint. He managed to score two touchdowns, threw for 241 yards, and successfully completed 65% of his passes in the win. However, it was Kyren Williams who gave the Lions a tough time as he ran for 70 yards and a touchdown on 16 attempts.

However, the primary problem for Detroit was a subpar showing from Jared Goff. Shortly after securing a substantial contract extension, the Lions’ starting quarterback, Goff, made two interceptions within the first half of play. Although he rectified his initial errors by scoring two touchdowns in the second half, his late touchdown was scored during an uncontested period. Consequently, Dan Campbell’s third year with the team began with a loss.

Record: 0-1

Week 2 – vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Lions 2024 Season Results According to Madden 25.

TEAMQuarter 1Quarter 2Quarter 3Quarter 4FINAL

In their initial win of the season, the Lions showcased an offensive dominance against the Buccaneers. Quarterback Jared Goff passed for 258 yards and scored two touchdowns, with Amon-Ra St. Brown catching both of them. Furthermore, second-year running back Jahmyr Gibbs dashed in a 45-yard touchdown run during the third quarter, boosting the Lions’ lead to 27-10.

Apart from their strong performance, the defense effectively contained the Buccaneers, letting them score only 10 points until late in the game when the outcome was already decided. This victory brings the Lions up to a level record.

Record: 1-1

Week 3 – @ Arizona Cardinals Lions 2024 Season Results According to Madden 25.

TEAMQuarter 1Quarter 2Quarter 3Quarter 4FINAL

AZ733316

Although the Lions’ offense performed reasonably well, they ended up with a low score due to several factors. Specifically, James Conner ran the ball an impressive 29 times, while Arizona’s quarterback and other running backs also contributed 15 rushes. This heavy reliance on the run by both teams resulted in Arizona controlling the game clock extensively.

In crucial moments, Detroit’s defense performed admirably, causing Arizona to settle for field goals on all four red zone attempts. Aidan Hutchinson delivered a game-changing play in the fourth quarter with a sack that forced Arizona to attempt a three-point score, giving them a slim 16-14 lead.

Subsequently, the Lions secured a somewhat unspectacular victory. With seconds remaining before the final buzzer, they scored two field goals and successfully defended on defense, clinching the game.

Record: 2-1

Week 4 – vs. Seattle Seahawks Lions 2024 Season Results According to Madden 25.

TEAMQuarter 1Quarter 2Quarter 3Quarter 4FINAL

DET7200330

Once more this season, the Lions experienced a home defeat at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks in a game with lots of points scored. The primary challenge for Detroit over the weekend was posed by Kenneth Walker III, the third-year running back. He rushed 22 times, accumulating 136 yards and scoring two touchdowns, one of which was a 32-yard dash to the end zone.

Geno Smith contributed by rushing six times for thirty yards and throwing three touchdown passes during the fourth quarter, leading a remarkable comeback for Seattle. Trailing 27-7, the Seahawks managed to advance down the field on three successive drives, even recovering an onside kick at one point. In contrast, the Lions could only manage a single field goal in the entire second half.

Additionally, Detroit’s chances of tying the game were hampered by a failed extra point attempt in the second quarter. If Seattle had also missed one, Detroit would have had an opportunity to at least equalize the score.

Record: 2-2

Week 6 – @ Dallas Cowboys

TEAMQuarter 1Quarter 2Quarter 3Quarter 4FINAL

If the loss against Seattle wasn’t bad, then the loss in Dallas won’t feel any better. CeeDee Lamb dominated the Lions’ secondary earning 10 catches for 192 yards. The Lions were unable to force any turnovers, and allowed Dallas to convert over 70% of third-down conversions. And worse, the offense was completely inept in the first half.

As a gamer, I took the field today, but things didn’t go as planned. In the first half, I threw a couple of interceptions that really hurt our team. To add to the woes, I got injured in the third quarter and had to sit out for some time. Luckily, Hendon Hooker stepped up and played well under the circumstances, completing three out of five passes for 23 yards. However, our defense faltered, we turned over the ball twice too many times, and Detroit capitalized on those mistakes, ultimately winning the game. It was a tough day on the field.

Record: 2-3

Week 7 – @ Minnesota Vikings Lions 2024 Season Results According to Madden 25.

TEAMQuarter 1Quarter 2Quarter 3Quarter 4FINAL

The Lions snap their two-match losing run by edging out Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings. Remarkably, their defense kept a check on Justin Jefferson, who accumulated 85 yards from five receptions. Crucially, they thwarted Jefferson from seizing a game-winning opportunity in the closing stages. On the Vikings’ final drive, Darnold aimed for Jefferson three times, but he failed to catch it each time. Another incomplete pass (to T.J Hockenson) followed, allowing the Lions to seal the victory.

While some might anticipate a more impressive performance from the Lions based on this score, it’s important to remember that divisional games often present complex situations rather than clear-cut outcomes.

Record: 3-3

Week 8 – vs. Tennessee Titans Lions 2024 Season Results According to Madden 25.

TEAMQuarter 1Quarter 2Quarter 3Quarter 4FINAL

In a stunning win over the Tennessee Titans, Jared Goff successfully tossed four touchdown passes to four distinct recipients, and all of these scoring throws surpassed the 20-yard mark.

  • A 21 yard TD pass to Sam LaPorta in the 1st Qtr
  • a 45 yard TD pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown in the 2nd quarter
  • a 71 yard TD pass to Jameson Williams in the 2nd quarter
  • a 26 yard TD pass to Donovan Peoples-Jones in the 3rd quarter

Moreover, the defense secured three turnovers during the match. The second-year quarterback, Will Levis, had a tough day, managing to complete 18 out of 34 passes, totaling just 172 yards, one touchdown, and throwing two interceptions. Running back Tony Pollard lost possession and got hurt in the process, which kept him off the field for the rest of the game. In summary, it was a fantastic win for the Lions.

Record: 4-3

Week 9 – @ Green Bay Packers Lions 2024 Season Results According to Madden 25.

The longstanding competition between the Lions and Packers starts off intensely, but sadly concludes disastrously for the Lions. Throughout the game, both squads traded leads in a fierce battle, but in the end, they had to play extra time.

In the game, Josh Jacobs from the Packers’ backfield rushed a total of 27 times, averaging close to five yards each attempt. Meanwhile, the Lions’ running backs also contributed significantly. David Montgomery carried the ball 15 times for a total of 78 yards, and Jahmyr Gibbs managed eight carries for 40 yards.

However, Detroit’s ground attack took a turn for the worse when Montgomery lost possession of the ball during their first overtime drive. In response, Green Bay executed a swift three-play, 38-yard offensive series, culminating in Jacobs scoring the winning touchdown on an eight-yard run.

Record: 4-4

Week 10 – @ Houston Texans

TEAMQuarter 1Quarter 2Quarter 3Quarter 4FINAL

HOU14710738

In a more straightforward manner: Playing away games for four consecutive weeks within five weeks isn’t typically simple, though I didn’t anticipate it would be such a significant challenge. On a lighter note, the Lions haven’t been doing well this season, and one reason might be that they’re facing strong opponents.

1. C.J. Stroud passed for an impressive 405 yards and three touchdowns, successfully completing nearly two-thirds of his attempts. The Houston Texans’ wide receiver group, featuring Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, Dalton Schultz, and Tank Dell (all with Overalls of 81 or higher), proved unbeatable in the game.

As a devoted fan, I’ve got to say, our offense held its own against Houston’s formidable attack, but unfortunately, we just couldn’t stay pace. Jared Goff had a decent game, throwing three touchdowns, but he also made a mistake in the red zone during the second half, resulting in an interception. In response, Houston capitalized with a stunning 76-yard touchdown drive.

With the loss, Detroit’s win-loss record goes below .500 again.

Record: 4-5

Week 11 – vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

In the opening half, Detroit’s defense showed strength, enabling them to regain a .500 record. Unfortunately, their offense faltered on three out of four opportunities inside the opponents’ territory. Although they managed to score a touchdown once, they could only muster two field goals and failed to convert on downs in the other three instances.

Despite the Jaguars’ efforts to mount a comeback, the Lions maintained their advantage throughout the game, with kicker Jake Bates contributing three field goals to Detroit’s tally. The Lions’ defense managed to keep Trevor Lawrence from scoring until the fourth quarter, where he completed a two-point conversion pass to Evan Engram, but it wasn’t enough to overtake the Lions.

But Jacksonville’s onside kick attempt failed, and Detroit ran the clock down.

Record: 5-5

Week 12 – @ Indianapolis Colts Lions 2024 Season Results According to Madden 25.

TEAMQuarter 1Quarter 2Quarter 3Quarter 4FINAL

Once more, the Lions have climbed above a .500 record following a powerful victory over the Colts. Anthony Richardson was forced out of the game in the second half due to injury, contributing to their streak of 10 consecutive points. Joe Flacco also contributed 10 more points, but Detroit’s offense had already secured the win by that point.

In this game, TE Sam LaPorta topped all receivers with 8 catches, racking up 88 yards and scoring a touchdown. However, it was QB Jared Goff who really drove the Lions’ offense, throwing 4 touchdown passes to give the Lions the edge over the Colts. He went on to win NFC Player of the Week, amassing 386 passing yards and adding a 7-yard run to his total.

In order to secure a playoff spot, Detroit still needs to win four more games.

Record: 6-5

Week 13 – vs. Chicago Bears Lions 2024 Season Results According to Madden 25.

TEAMQuarter 1Quarter 2Quarter 3Quarter 4FINAL

On his initial trip to Detroit, Caleb Williams’ outing was a hit among Lions supporters, as they witnessed their defense bringing down the novice quarterback six times! On one of these takedowns, Williams lost possession, which defensive tackle D.J. Reader recovered. However, kicker Jake Bates failed to convert the ensuing extra-point attempt.

Apart from a minor error, the Lions excelled in virtually every facet of the game. Jared Goff threw for success 68% of the time, Montgomery and Gibbs combined for 125 rushing yards, while St. Brown snagged six passes for 92 yards and a touchdown.

Overall, a strong victory from Detroit pushes them closer to the postseason.

Record: 7-5

In a game that was crucial for them, the Lions dominated the Packers impressively. Initially sluggish, their offense found its stride in the second half, accumulating 20 more points to their tally. On the other hand, Jordan Love had a tough day, throwing three interceptions as they lost. However, he managed to score a touchdown for them on the last drive and converted the two-point conversion too.

Instead, let’s give credit where it’s due: The Lions’ impressive run-defense was key in this game. They kept Josh Jacobs to just 55 yards on 18 carries, forcing Love to pass more frequently. This defensive strategy helped them secure their eighth victory of the season.

Record: 8-5

Following their significant victory, the Lions subsequently suffered a defeat at the hands of Josh Allen and his Buffalo Bills in a thrilling matchup. Throughout the game, both teams exhibited intense competition, but it was Buffalo’s outstanding fourth quarter that sealed the deal for them. With 4:03 left on the clock, the Bills managed to score a touchdown, followed by forcing Goff into an interception during what would have been the Lions’ potential game-winning drive.

Despite the Bills scoring swiftly, the Lions got an opportunity to draw level. Yet, following a failed attempt on fourth down near the midfield, Buffalo secured the victory instead.

Record: 8-6

Week 16 – @ Chicago Bears

In their urgent quest to secure a playoff berth, the Lions demonstrated swift dominance over the Chicago Bears in the first half, amassing an impressive 27 points. A highlight of this onslaught was a pick-six by safety Brian Branch, while Jared Goff frequently targeted his top receivers, St. Brown and LaPorta. The duo reeled in 16 passes collectively for a total of 211 yards.

37-17 behind at the start of the fourth quarter, Chicago made a push for a comeback with two successive touchdown drives. However, the running back pairing of Montgomery and Gibbs ruled the game, averaging over 4.2 yards per carry each. As a result, Detroit’s chances of qualifying for the playoffs significantly improved following their victory.

Record: 9-6

As a diehard fan, I’m thrilled to imagine a replay of the 2024 NFC Championship game, where once again, my beloved 49ers emerge victorious over the Lions. In the first half, we managed to secure a lead through a well-timed safety, but alas, our defense faltered in the crucial fourth quarter. Facing a daunting 29-17 deficit, the 49ers displayed an incredible comeback spirit, outscoring the Lions 22-3 in the final quarter. George Kittle, our indispensable TE, snatched a pivotal two-point conversion that tied the game at 32-32, setting the stage for our eventual triumph.

Unfortunately, the Lions were compelled to kick the ball away, and Deebo Samuel scored a touchdown on a 12-yard catch not long after. This means that with this loss, the Green Bay Packers have won the NFC North, but the Lions still have a chance to secure a wildcard spot.

Record: 9-7

In Justin Jefferson’s absence due to injury, the Lions’ defense effectively contained Minnesota’s offensive attack. Regrettably, though, the offense struggled, with them only scoring a single touchdown on the day. Additionally, they made three field goals, but Jake Bates missed another one – this one was just 40 yards away.

Ultimately, what mattered most was the Lions’ victory. This triumph secured them a place in the wildcard round of the playoffs.

Despite experiencing a drop in their regular season wins, it’s crucial to consider that the Lions faced some formidable opponents during the season. Remarkably, teams like the 49ers, Texans, Bills, Packers, Cowboys, and Seahawks all qualified for the playoffs in this simulation. The only team they lost to that didn’t make the postseason was the Rams, who managed to finish with a 8-9 record.

Based on Madden 25 predictions, the Detroit Lions are projected to finish with a record of 10-7 and qualify for the playoffs. However, their journey would come to an end against the Dallas Cowboys during the Wildcard round. Despite reaching the NFC Championship game in 2024, they found themselves trailing behind the Green Bay Packers in the divisional standings.

Despite boasting numerous talented players, it appeared that a significant problem consistently hampered them in every defeat, with defensive shortcomings being a major contributor, although their offense occasionally faltered too. Overall, the Lions experienced a setback in their third season under Dan Campbell, but there’s no need for undue worry.

In summary, Jared Goff accumulated more than 4,200 passing yards during the season, while David Montgomery racked up 1,138 rushing yards. The Lions’ ground game finished second in the league, trailing Baltimore, and the team averaged 28 points per regular-season game. Yet, it is worth noting that only one team can win the Super Bowl.
