The Lions entered Sunday’s showdown against the Ravens with the spotlight. Many pundits made the case this week that the Lions are as good as the NFC’s 49ers and Eagles.
As for the Ravens, they were being overshadowed in the AFC North by the Bengals’ recent surge. Not many were taking Baltimore seriously, thanks to two puzzling losses to the Steelers and Colts earlier this season.
It’s safe to say that the Ravens have regained the football world’s attention after a lopsided 38–6 victory over the Lions that probably no one saw coming. But is it safe to say that the Ravens will make noise in the AFC postseason? They’ll have plenty of competition with the Chiefs, Dolphins, Bengals and Jaguars.
