The Detroit Lions (2-1) made a statement Monday night going on the road and downing the Baltimore Ravens (1-2) with a 38-30 victory.
Despite the expectations of a thrilling matchup, predictions leaned heavily toward the Ravens pregame.
But, the Lions put together another stellar performance highlighted by 151 rushing yards and two scores from David Montgomery and seven sacks from the Detroit defense on Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson, which tied a career-high against the two-time MVP.
