The Detroit Lions experienced a real nightmare against the Baltimore Ravens, losing heavily 38 to 6, Sunday afternoon at M&T Bank Stadium.
Lamar Jackson, the quarterback of the Ravens (5-2), was dominant during the meeting. He started the proceedings by reaching the end zone himself on a seven-yard run. Subsequently, the 26-year-old athlete was complicit in three of his team’s other four touchdowns.

The number eight finished the game with gains of 357 yards through the air, having completed 21 of his 27 passes attempted. Running back Gus Edwards also used his legs 14 times, scoring one touchdown.
Among the Lions (5-2), to say that Jared Goff’s match was complicated would be an understatement. He suffered five sacks in the quarter, in addition to suffering an interception during the third quarter.
This loss is only Detroit’s fourth since the ninth week of activity in the NFL last year.
The Patriots win down to the wire
We were treated to a roller coaster game between the New England Patriots (2-5) and the Buffalo Bills (4-3), but it was the former who ended up winning 29 to 25 .
Mike Gesicki had fans jumping out of their seats at Gillette Stadium when he caught Mac Jones’ pass for the game-winning touchdown with 15 seconds left in the game.
The “Pats” quarterback had a full game, which contrasts with his recent performances. Jones scored two touchdown passes and was adept at passing as 25 of his 30 balls ended up in the arms of his teammates.
The Patriots had not won since September 24. Bill Belichick’s men then won 15 to 10 against the New York Jets.
An offensive festival between the Browns and the Colts
If defense was the crux of the matter for the Cleveland Browns (4-2) this season – they allowed just 1,002 yards in their first five games of the season – let’s say it wasn’t at all the case during the duel against the Indianapolis Colts (3-4), which they won 39 to 38.
It was a one-yard run from Kareem Hunt in the final moments of the game that allowed his team to record a success at the last minute.
Kevin Stefanski’s squad allowed a total of 456 yards, while their opponents scored five touchdowns, including three in the first half. Cleveland may have been on top during the second quarter, but the performances in the other quarters almost ruined the hopes of victory.
Kicker Dustin Hopkins also had a say in his team’s victory. He made four field goals, including three of more than 50 yards.
