The Detroit Lions finally snapped their Baltimore drought with a historic win at M&T Bank Stadium on Monday Night Football.
Detroit piled up 38 points and brought relentless pressure on Lamar Jackson, sacking the former MVP seven times in the eight-point victory. Al-Quadin Muhammad led the defensive charge with 2.5 sacks, while Aidan Hutchinson forced a key Derrick Henry fumble that turned the tide.
It was a shootout early, with both sides trading blows through the first half. But the Lions’ defense clamped down after the break, allowing the offense to pull away. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery both ran wild, each finding the end zone twice, with Montgomery racking up a huge 164 rushing yards. Amon-Ra St. Brown added a touchdown grab and also dished out a creative handoff to Gibbs for one of his scores. Jared Goff kept the chains moving with 202 passing yards, while kicker Jake Bates drilled a crucial 45-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.
With the franchise’s first-ever road win over the Ravens secured, Detroit heads back to Ford Field next Sunday to face the Cleveland Browns, fresh off a win over Green Bay. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
