Ravens (5-2) were up 28-0 before Detroit (5-2) even managed to get a 1st down. It was the best match of Baltimore since the beginning of the campaign and was a reality check for the Lions as they were humbled in their 1st clash against an elite opponent this season.
Lamar finished 21 of 27 for 357 yards and 3 TDs and had almost a perfect passing rating of almost 156. Jackson also ran for a touchdown. At one point in the clash, the Ravens were leading 35-0 before the Lions finally scored at the beginning of the 4th quarter on a run by rookie Jahmyr Gibbs.
Detroit will face at home Raiders on Monday, while Baltimore will play away from home against Cardinals on Sunday.
