After about 5 minutes into the game, an ending was clear and inevitable. The Lions could not contain a running QB and Raven’s defence overwhelmed Lion’s offensive line. Coupled without any appreciable running game Goff suffered an interminable afternoon. Allowing the opponents over 500 yards of offence and time of possession will take its toll.

Baltimore Ravens had a near perfect game on both sides of the ball. Their execution made the Lions look totally unprepared and discombobulated. Every team has a ‘bad day’ no matter what the pundits proclaim. Put this game in the ‘lessons learned’ column and get on with the season.
