Overview

  • Detroit (1-1) visits Baltimore (1-1) on Monday at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN in a nationally televised Week 3 matchup.
  • Lamar Jackson enters with 22 touchdown passes and zero interceptions across nine Monday starts, and the Ravens are 22-3 in home prime-time games under John Harbaugh.
  • Derrick Henry is framed as Baltimore’s offensive X-factor after the Ravens were held to 45 rushing yards in Week 2, setting up a key test against Detroit’s front.
  • Injury reports remain pivotal: Ravens TE Isaiah Likely returned as a limited participant, OLB Kyle Van Noy is expected to miss time with a hamstring issue, and CB Marlon Humphrey practiced after a groin injury; the Lions list DE Marcus Davenport as uncertain and placed TE Shane Zylstra on IR.
  • Detroit seeks a response to its 38-6 loss in Baltimore in 2023 after a 52-21 win over Chicago featuring Jared Goff’s five TD passes, while CBS Sports/SportsLine models currently favor the Ravens in division and playoff odds.
