Rushing attack, pass rush help Lions defeat Ravens on road

BALTIMORE – The Lions of Detroit used a rush to the revitalized pass and a punishing precipitate attack to defeat the Baltimore Ravens 38-30 at M&T Bank Stadium on Monday evening.

David Montgomery ran 151 yards and two affected for the lions (2-1), which rushed for 224 yards. Detroit also experienced two touched blows of at least 96 yards and dismissed the quarter of the Ravens Lamar Jackson seven times.

Jackson launched for 288 yards and three affected for the Ravens (1-2), who saw the Ballon bearer Veteran Derrick Henry having another expensive escape.

Here are the most important things to know on Monday evening for both teams:

During their four previous trips to Baltimore, more recently in 2023, the Lions had never won – or reached the nine points of the victory. But that changed on Monday, when the Lions offensive started quickly, led by veteran QB Jared Goff, and the Strait game leaders presented a show.

Running Backs Jahmyr Gibbs and Montgomery, as well as All-Pro Wr Amon-Ra St. Brown, everyone had touchdings. He marked the 10th game in which they each recorded at least one melee TD, the greatest number of games from all the trio of teammates in the history of the NFL, according to ESPN Research.

After abandoning their week 1 match in Green Bay, Detroit has won his last two games impressively.

Most surprising performance: From Al-Quadin Muhammad. A few hours before the start, the Lions placed the defensive winger leaving Marcus Davenport in the injured reserve due to a chest injury. Muhammad intensified against the Ravens with 2.5 bags, increasing a rush to the Detroit pass which recorded a rush victory rate of 19.2% of the 19.2% league in the first two weeks. Muhammad, 30, is part of his fifth NFL team and in his second season with the Lions after progressing from the training team in 2024.

Tendency to look: The Lions allowed a hit at the opening of the three games this season under the new defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard. Henry ran for a TD of 28 yards with 5:47 to do in the first quarter. According to ESPN Research, it is the first time that Detroit has granted an opening TD to be opened in three consecutive games under the coach Dan Campbell, dating from 2021. He also marked the first time in the last 25 years that the Lions have granted a touch of opening in the first three games of a season. The defense gathered after the opening score, sending Jackson a career summit seven times.

Statistics namely: When Montgomery crowned a disc of 98 yards with a touch of the goal line at 5:57 am in the second quarter, he and Gibbs each recorded a touch in the same game for the 11th time, breaking equality with the Paul Hornung and Jim Taylor of the Packers and the 499ers Hugh McElhenny and Joe Perry for most of the Tandem of Run Back. – Eric Woodyard

Henry’s unusual security of the unusual ball cost the Ravens again. Henry escaped halfway in the fourth quarter, and this turned out to be the greatest error in the defeat of the ravens against the lions. He showed his frustration by slamming his helmet on the bench. Henry lost the ball in the fourth quarter in the two defeats of Baltimore this season. This is unusual for Henry, who had lost two escaped escapes in the fourth quarter or in overtime during his previous nine seasons.

Defensively, the Ravens have allowed the touched training of 98 and 96 yards to the lions, but this is not the first time that Baltimore has given long journeys. The last team to authorize several 95 yards touched on “Monday Night Football” was the Ravens, who did it against the Texans in 2010, according to ESPN Research.

Baltimore has a losing record after three games for the third time in the 18 seasons of John Harbaugh as a coach. The Ravens, whose 111 points are the most the first three games for a team with a losing record in the history of the NFL, head for Kansas City (1-2), where they have never beaten Patrick Mahomes. Since 2008, Baltimore has been 0-3 at the Arrowhead stadium, allowing an average of 29 points per game.

Tendency to look: Jackson’s touchdown passes from 3 yards to the Large Rashod Bateman and 14 to the tight winger Mark Andrews helped the quarter-Arrière to establish a team record. He scored the ninth consecutive match of Jackson with two passes of Touché or more, going beyond the eight sequence of Vinny Testaverde in 1996. It is also the longest active sequence of multiple pastime matches in the league.

Most surprising performance: Andrews again looked like Jackson’s favorite target after his slowest start to a season during his eight -year career. Andrews caught 6 passes for 91 yards and 2 affected. It was a struggle this season for Andrews, which totaled two receptions for 7 yards in the first two games. This slow start followed the defeat of the playoff series in Buffalo, where he dropped a late conversion pass of 2 points that would have equaled the score.

Statistics namely: Jackson had little room to rush and was dismissed seven times, most of his career. Baltimore lost three of the four games in which Jackson was dismissed at least five times. – Jamism Hensley
