Lions Visit Ravens on Monday Night as Jackson’s MNF Streak Takes Center Stage

Baltimore’s prime-time pedigree turns this rematch into a measuring stick for Detroit.

Overview

  • Both teams enter 1-1, with BetMGM listing Baltimore as a 5-point favorite and the Ravens holding a 6-1 edge in the all-time series.
  • Lamar Jackson has 22 touchdown passes and zero interceptions on Monday night (7-2 as a starter) and leads the NFL through two games in passer rating and touchdown passes without a pick.
  • Reporters spotlight Baltimore’s top-ranked rushing attack with Derrick Henry and Jackson against a Lions front that allowed 134 rushing yards in Week 2.
  • Detroit frames the trip as a test after the 38-6 loss in Baltimore in 2023, with Dan Campbell and Jared Goff stressing a faster start and disciplined defense.
  • Injuries are a variable: Lions DE Marcus Davenport’s status is uncertain and TE Shane Zylstra is on IR, while the Ravens list CB Marlon Humphrey (groin), LB Kyle Van Noy (hamstring) and note TE Isaiah Likely and FB Patrick Ricard have yet to play; rookie CB Nate Wiggins is also managing a groin issue.
