The Detroit Lions’ rise hasn’t gone unnoticed — but apparently, not everyone got the memo at NFL Honors. One Lions star was shockingly left out when the awards were handed out, and the snub immediately sparked frustration among fans who felt the league missed the mark yet again.
All season long, the Lions’ standout delivered consistent, high-impact performances that helped fuel Detroit’s success. Whether it was leadership, production, or showing up in the biggest moments, his case felt strong enough to warrant serious recognition. Instead, the moment passed without his name being called — and that didn’t sit well in Lions country.
NFL Honors snubs aren’t new, but this one hits differently because of where the Lions are as a franchise. This isn’t a rebuilding team begging for attention anymore. Detroit is competing, winning, and proving it belongs among the league’s elite. When a key contributor gets overlooked in that context, it feels less like an oversight and more like lingering bias.
Social media lit up almost instantly after the awards, with fans and analysts alike questioning how the decision was made. Some pointed to name recognition and market size, others to voter fatigue. Whatever the reason, the frustration is real — and justified.
In the end, awards don’t define careers. But moments like this often become fuel. The Lions have embraced the idea of being doubted before, and history shows that this team doesn’t forget slights easily. If anything, the snub may only add another chip to an already dangerous shoulder.
Detroit has heard the message before.
They just keep proving it wrong. 🦁🔥
