Welcome to “Monday Night Football”! Your Detroit Lions are in Baltimore for a chance to take down the mighty Ravens on their own field and in primetime. That is no easy task for any team, as the Ravens boast a 13-5 record at home since 2023. If that wasn’t enough, according to ESPN, Lamar Jackson has thrown 22 touchdown passes and zero interceptions in his career on “Monday Night Football.” Jackson is also a ridiculous 24-2 against NFC teams in his career. If the Lions are going to win on Monday night, they’re going to have to buck some serious historical trends.
But for the past two years, the Lions have been doing exactly that. They seem to set franchise records on a weekly basis under coach Dan Campbell, including the high mark for yards per play last week with a whopping 8.8 last week against the Chicago Bears.
There have been some inconsistencies for both teams through two games. The Lions looked like they were suffering from the “brain drain” against the Packers in Week 1, only to look exactly like their old selves in a blowout win over the Bears. The Ravens blew a big lead in an all-too-familiar game against a Super Bowl contender, then—despite being slowed down at a historic rate on the ground—managed to blow out the division-rival Browns.
With an opportunity for both teams to take a share of their division’s lead, Monday night should be an awesome game to close out Week 3.

GO LIONS!
