THE READ

Lions run away with it, 87-63
Detroit won 87-63 in a 150-point explosion where Jahmyr Gibbs did something unprecedented, rushing for 543 yards and 10 touchdowns on 29 carries. Lamar Jackson answered with 642 passing yards and 9 touchdowns on 24 of 41, while Devontez Walker caught 10 passes for 308 yards and 5 scores, but it was never close once Detroit's ground game took over and the Ravens' pass protection fell apart—6 sacks allowed against 0 for Baltimore. The Lions are 7-3 and the Ravens fall to 9-2.
THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ravens | +17.7 | +2.6 | +15.1 | +8 |
| Lions | +12.0 | +2.8 | +9.1 | +12 |
SRS is how many points a side beats an
average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good
team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20.
SOS is how hard that schedule has been.

IN THE BOOTH
Hollis Vaughn
The superfan
Baltimore had no answer for what Detroit brought—Gibbs went for 543 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground, and when the Ravens' defense couldn't stop the run, their own pass rush fell apart, giving up 6 sacks while their line surrendered 37 yards all day. A 2-seed doesn't get run off the field at home like this.

Devontez Walker just reminded everyone what a 308-yard, 5-touchdown afternoon looks like when a receiver is left alone—and the Ravens' entire offensive load landed on him because Detroit's rush collapsed Baltimore's pocket before anything underneath could develop.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers —
none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that
did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.

Only meetings Sapphire can attribute to both men are counted — a Madden export never says who owned a team last season, so the series starts where the record does.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
