Lion sack Jackson 7 times in 38-30 win over Baltimore

Punishing all night — and tricky when they had to be — the Detroit Lions battered the Baltimore Ravens with a performance that epitomized everything they’ve become under coach Dan Campbell.

Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery ran for two touchdowns apiece, and the Lions bullied their way to a 38-30 win over Baltimore on Monday night. Detroit sacked Lamar Jackson seven times and outrushed the Ravens 224 yards to 85.

Detroit scored on drives of 98 and 96 yards against a Baltimore front that was without defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike and showed little ability to handle the Lions physically.

After a field goal made it 28-24, the Ravens got a defensive stop, but Derrick Henry lost a fumble in a huge fourth-quarter spot for the second time in three weeks.

Montgomery raced for a 31-yard touchdown with 1:42 to play, capping a 151-yard night on the ground for the running back.

Jackson threw his third touchdown pass of the night, a 27-yarder to Mark Andrews with 29 seconds remaining. A failed 2-point conversion and a failed onside kick later, the Lions could kneel out the clock.

Detroit lost offensive coordinator Ben Johnson in the offseason and began the season with a dud at Green Bay. After rebounding in Week 2 against Chicago, the Lions looked very much like Super Bowl contenders against the Ravens.
