M&T Bank Stadium Showdown: Detroit Lions Face Baltimore Ravens in Week 7
The Detroit Lions, with a record of 5-2, faced off against the Baltimore Ravens, also at 5-2, in a regular-season game that ended with a score of 38-6. The match took place at M&T Bank Stadium where the home team secured a convincing victory over the visitors.
The Lions struggled to find their rhythm throughout the game. Despite making 53 passing attempts and completing 33 of them for a total of 284 yards, they failed to convert any into touchdowns. The passing game averaged only about four yards per attempt and was further hampered by five sacks for a loss of 31 yards. The quarterback's performance resulted in an average rating of just over sixty-eight percent.
On the ground, however, there was some success as they rushed fourteen times accumulating eighty-four yards which included one touchdown - their only score for the day. This rushing effort was highlighted by one breakaway run that resulted in their longest touchdown covering twenty-one yards.
Special teams had mixed results; while punting was effective with an average net yardage matching gross punting yardage at forty-six from four attempts and two landing inside the twenty-yard line, field goal attempts were nonexistent as none were made or even attempted during this matchup.
Penalties seemed to be an issue for both sides but more so for the Lions who incurred five penalties costing them fifty-seven yards and granting one first down to their opponents due to these infractions.
Defensively speaking, it was tough going for Detroit who did not manage any sacks or interceptions throughout this contest. They did force three-and-outs once and recovered one fumble but allowed thirty-eight points against them which is indicative of how challenging it must have been on that side of the ball too.
The Ravens capitalized on opportunities presented to them by executing efficiently when needed most notably reflected in their thirty-one percent third-down conversion rate from sixteen attempts and converting two out six fourth-down tries which is roughly thirty-three percent success rate there too – showing resilience when plays extended beyond standard downs.
