Why This Monday Night Football Could Rewrite the Rules of the Game Forever

The Lions are 1-1 entering today’s game and have a very tough one as they have to travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens. In their first game of the season, also a road game, the Lions looked anything but ferocious as they took on the Packers. In that first game, Green Bay ended up looking dominant and holding the Lions to just 13 points. In another divisional battle last week against the Bears, the Lions looked like the best offensive team in the league. They posted 52 points on the Bears while holding Chicago to just 21 points for the game. In terms of defense, I think the Ravens are probably closer to the Packers’ defense than the Bears, which means the Lions probably have a tougher offensive battle than they did last week. I think the Lions are still the best team in the division, but I’m not overly confident in them here. Their defense has looked pretty good so far, but it seems like they are just barely keeping their team in games. They have a few guys on the injured report that are a bit concerning to me, but they should be available. The Ravens are solid against the run, but part of that might be because teams have had to pass against them. The Lions like to pound the ground and let Jahmyr Gibbs find holes and be explosive.
