That was not a pretty game. Wow. But, you have to give a lot of credit to Lamar Jackson. I knew he was good, but I didn’t know he was that good. The quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens had an incredible game, and it showed with that score. The Detroit Lions fell to the Ravens, 38-6, giving Lions fans a little reminder of what it’s like to lose again. So, what does the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Ravens really mean?

Benjamin Raven, a Detroit Lions beat writer for MLive, is on “The Squad with Anne Erickson” to talk all about the big Ravens win and what it means for the Lions. Is this indicative of a larger problem? Did Lamar Jackson just have a really good night? He really hammered the Detroit Lions, as Dan Campbell put it. Are the Lions still one of the best teams in the NFL? Also, perhaps most importantly, will Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson leave for a head coach position soon?

What Does the Detroit Lions’ Loss to the Ravens Really Mean?

“Lamar Jackson, his game was incredible,” Anne Erickson said. “How do you go up against that?”

“When Lamar Jackson is operating at that level, it’s really hard to plan for what’s coming at you,” Benjamin Raven said. “The defense was playing in its heels all game, and he was either sitting in the pocket all day to throw or he was scrambling and creating more time for his receivers to get open. It really was the perfect Lamar Jackson game.” He added, “I’m not down on the long-term picture (for the Lions), but I do think this was a reality check that this can happen.” Listen to “The Squad with Anne Erickson” below, and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

5 Hottest Personalities in the NFL Right Now

  • Patrick Mahomes

    Patrick Mahomes, of course, is the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s considered the best quarterback of his era and possibly the next Tom Brady. But, aside from his skills, he also has a big personality. He has more than 6 million Instagram followers, and he posts a bunch of stuff up there, from football material to family photos.

  • Travis Kelce

    Travis Kelce, the celebrated tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is pretty much the most famous guy in football this season. Yes, it’s because of his relationship with Taylor Swift. I hate to make that a reason to have him named one of the best personalities in the NFL, but heck, even without the Taylor factor, Kelce has a huge personality that people love.

  • Dan Campbell

    All eyes are on Dan Campbell this season, as the Lions all pulling off some incredible things. That’s not common for the Detroit Lions, either. But, Campbell has some of the wackiest ideas and quotes, and that makes him loveable. Remember that time he wanted a pet Lion at practices? I love this dude.

  • Bill Belichick

    Bill Belichick needs no introduction, but we’ll introduce him anyway. He’s the former head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots. He’s had some rough years as of late, but nothing can take away his glimmering record. Belichick just tells it like it is. He’s incredible with strategies, and that really stands out with his coaching.

  • Jalen Hurts

    Jalen Hurts, the star quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is something of a hero on the field. But, off the field, he’s known for his deep, insightful comments that show he has wisdom beyond his years. He’s a major contender and personality.
