It was to be expected. Getting trounced 38-6 in Baltimore was bound to drop the Detroit Lions in NFL power polls after Week 7. Sure enough, the Lions did fall out of the top five with the loss. However, the fall wasn’t very far for Detroit in most polls. The 5-2 Lions remain firmly in
Sunday’s matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Detroit Lions was supposed to be the most interesting schematic game of Week 7. You had the Ravens’ passing game, finally coming together under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, against an Aaron Glenn-led Lions defense that ranked third in Defensive DVOA behind only the Cleveland Browns… and
The Lions performance against the Baltimore Ravens was one of the more notable ones of the season. Not in the sense one could hope but that it may serve as a callback down the road when greener pastures are in front of them. The Ravens cemented themselves as Super Bowl contenders, and the Lions still
The NFL closes out Week 7 with a “Monday Night Football” matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. was not on the field for Detroit’s Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. In fact, Jones didn’t even make the trip to Maryland with the team. The Lions ruled out Jones on Saturday, citing undisclosed personal reasons that were not injury-related. The veteran wideout had been a full
After watching the tape of his team getting throttled 38-6 by the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell came away with one big conclusion: that was entirely his fault. “When you step back and you look at a number of performances that were very much subpar across the board, it’s not coincidence,” Campbell said.…
In what most expected to be a close matchup, the Baltimore Ravens blew out the visiting Detroit Lions 38-6. This was not a close game at really any point The stark difference in first-half performance is what ultimately decided the game. The Ravens were able to score early and often while the Lions started the
The Detroit Lions’ hype train came to a screeching halt on Sunday as they were blown out 38-6 by the Baltimore Ravens. As ugly as the loss was, coach Dan Campbell saw a rather surprising bright side. Campbell said after the game that the Lions “probably needed” a game like Sunday’s to help them refocus
The next-day press conference following a humiliating loss is always worthy of attention. It’s where the head coach sets the tone for how the team as a whole will handle the bad outcome. For Dan Campbell, the day after a 38-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens was about taking the blame for the brutal performance
Dan Campbell brought the heat the day after the Detroit Lions were embarrassed by the Baltimore Ravens, pointing the flame directly at himself. “I did not do a good job of getting them ready,” Campbell said assessing the 38-6 loss on Monday. “I didn’t have them ready. I’ve got to do a much better job
There is a disturbing commonality with the Detroit Lions in their most recent losses. It’s one that has dogged defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn for his entire era in charge of the Detroit defense. Quarterbacks who can run give Glenn his Lions defense fits. [affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] There’s a difference between a running quarterback and a quarterback who
Bears Bears CB Jaylon Johnson made money signs to the cameras during a two-interception day against the Raiders and was asked if he was trying to send a message about a new contract. “You damn right,” Johnson said, via the Chicago Tribune. “100 percent. I know who I am, and I know I can play this
While some Detroit Lions fans are panicking after Detroit’s brutal loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, quarterback Jared Goff most certainly is not. He’s been here before. Just shortly after the 38-6 beatdown at M&T Bank Stadium, Goff remained as poised as ever talking to reporters. He was asked if a game like this…
The Detroit Lions got beaten pretty badly on Sunday. It might have even been one of the worst beatings this team has ever taken. I spent all day Sunday being negative about this team for good reason, but I have to at least have one positive take from this game. That take is that Jahmyr
Week 7’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens was supposed to be a matchup of two of the NFL’s best teams. What ended up happening was one team looked like a Super Bowl contender, and the other looked as if they had forgotten to get off the bus. The Lions got blown out by the Raves
“Bury the tape.” That’s the general consensus after a blow such as that. The Detroit Lions got hammered in a way that they haven’t been hammered for a while now. It’s a major blow to Lions fans and their confidence so far, but where does the team grow on it?
The Detroit Lions suffered their second loss of the season on Sunday, this time to the Baltimore Ravens. It was, quite frankly, a pathetic showing for the Lions, as Baltimore walked all over them. The Ravens did whatever they wanted on offense, and Detroit had absolutely no answers with the ball in their own hands…
The Detroit Lions are back home in Week 8 taking on the Las Vegas Raiders on “Monday Night Football” at Ford Field. Despite the Lions (5-2) struggling on the road in Baltimore in Week 7, the Raiders (3-4) loss to the lowly Bears was also equally unimpressive, and that has led to the folks over…
There wasn’t much to be excited about with the Lions in Detroit’s 38-6 loss in Baltimore on Sunday, but one Lions player did establish a positive new team record. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had a prolific day, catching 13 passes for 102 yards. When paired with last week’s 12 receptions for 124 yards in
Detroit running back Mohamed Ibrahim, injured while returning a kickoff against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, underwent surgery for a dislocated hip shortly after getting to a hospital, Lions coach Dan Campbell said after the game. “Mo’s in the hospital and he’s having surgery right now. Sounds like he’ll be OK, but he’s going to
