NFL Week 7 Game Recap: Baltimore Ravens 38, Detroit Lions 6

The Baltimore Ravens dominated the Detroit Lions, 38-6, in Week 7 to move both teams to 5-2 on the year.

The Ravens took the lead on a Lamar Jackson rushing touchdown after a dominant opening drive, and Jackson made it 14-0 after another long drive on their second possession, resetting on a scramble to find wide receiver Nelson Agholor in the end zone.

Jackson hit tight end Mark Andrews on a catch-and-run from 11 yards out to make it 21-0, before another series where Gus Edwards found the end zone from the two-yard line.

After a long Lions drive to open the second half failed on fourth-and-goal, the Ravens quickly went 94 yards down the field in four plays, culminating in Jackson finding Mark Andrews for his second score of the game

Rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs scored the Lions' first touchdown of the day, and the first of his career, to deny the shutout.

Offensive spotlight: The Ravens were rolling from the get-go, with the passing offense barely skipping a beat all day. Jackson was incredible, finishing the game 21-of-27 for 357 yards with three touchdowns and four big-time throws, pending review. He also rushed for 36 yards and another score.

Even when things went awry, Baltimore made plays. Jackson found Gus Edwards for 80 yards on a seemingly broken play, and Jackson hit Agholor for the team’s second touchdown after scrambling for more than 20 yards in the backfield.

Not much went right for the Lions on offense, but Amon-Ra St. Brown still had 102 yards on 13 receptions from 19 targets.

Defensive spotlight: The Ravens made Goff uncomfortable with pressure for much of the game. Kyle Van Noy picked up two sacks, his second and third on the season, while Justin Madubuike and Arthur Maulet added one each. The defense's final sack came from edge defender Odafe Oweh, who forced a fumble on the play.

Geno Stone picked off Lions quarterback Jared Goff for his league-leading fourth interception of the season and made a nice tackle on a Lions two-point conversion attempt.

Rookie spotlight: Zay Flowers saw six targets for the Ravens, more of which were downfield than usual. He finished the game with four receptions for 75 yards. Undrafted free agent running back Keaton Mitchell played his first offensive snaps of the year, picking up nine yards on a reception.
