Lamar Jackson accounted for four total touchdowns, and the Ravens defense held Detroit to 97 yards in a first half that saw the home team score on their first four possessions.
In what can be described as an intense life lesson, the Lions learned that they are improving, but they’re not ready to be listed among the NFL’s elite after an embarrassing 38-6 loss to the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.
With Baltimore now 5-2 on the season and heading to Arizona in Week 8, here are the top photos from the dominant win.
