The Detroit Lions were living up to the preseason hype.<\/p>\n

They were roaring right along. Then they slammed right into a butt-kicking on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“Those guys, they played well. They kicked our ass,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said of the Baltimore Ravens after their 38-6 throttling of Detroit. “It’s a credit to them.”<\/p>\n

Winners of four straight and 3-0 on the road heading into Sunday, Detroit was stopped cold as host Baltimore rolled early to a 28-point first-half lead and never looked back.<\/p>\n

Detroit ran 72 plays in the game but netted just 337 yards. In contrast, the Ravens recorded a mind-spinning 9.1 yards per play, spearheaded by a stellar showing from Lamar Jackson\ufeff, who had 357 yards and three touchdowns through the air and also rushed for 64 yards and a score.<\/p>\n

“Lamar beat us,” Campbell said. “He hammered us with his arm. He threw the ball extremely well. He ran when he needed to, and we did not handle it well.”<\/p>\n

All of Jackson’s brilliance and the Lions’ inability to respond added up to Detroit’s worst loss since Week 8 of 2021 when it lost by 38 to the Philadelphia Eagles. That 44-6 loss dropped the Lions to 0-8. This one has them at 5-2. Campbell was the head coach then and is now, obviously, but times have changed.<\/p>\n
