"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." These words by Toni Morrison sum up why I got into writing after being an avid reader for most of my childhood. 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. 

The 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.

Despite 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.

After the high-octane game against the Los Angeles Rams [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/los-angeles-rams-nfl/] last week, the Detroit Lions [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/detroit-lions/] are back at it again. With everything on the line against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/tampa-bay-buccaneers/] in the divisional playoff round, the Lions have received a piece of shocking news. The dependable left guard Jonah Jackson might not come back on the field! After a cagey first quarter, both teams were level at 3-3. The Lions took an early lead in the second quarter, thanks to star QB Jared Goff. But their defense might be shaken after this setback! JONAH JOHNSON AND KNEE TROUBLES Currently, the nature of the injury sustained by Jackson in the second quarter is unclear. But the sideline reports coming in from the game are not good news for the Lions. It was later revealed that Jackson sustained serious issues with his left knee and has been declared out. Though it did provide a scare to the Lions fanbase, their defense held on even in the clutch moments.

He will be excited for the historic run that the Lions are carving out for themselves. With only a couple of games away from winning the Super Bowl. THE LIONS ROAR AT THE TOP FULL OF POTENTIAL With this emphatic 31-23 victory over the Buccaneers, the Lions have managed to win consecutive playoff games for the first time since 1957. They are currently the only team left in the NFC that hasn’t ever been to the Super Bowl or won it.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The club was originally founded in Portsmouth, Ohio, and enlisted in the NFL in 1930 going by the Portsmouth Spartans banner. 4 years later, in 1934, the team relocated to Detroit citing financial struggles. Furthermore, the franchise was renamed to the Lions with reference to the city’s MLB counterpart franchise going by the Tigers.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483977 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/lyon.jpg" alt="" width="1080" height="991" />
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483986 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/wire.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" />
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483982 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/def.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" />
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-483995 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/huddle.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" />
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Detroit Lions 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">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.</p>
