The Ravens (1-2) face a few days of self-reflection on defense and along the offensive line. Detroit rushed for 224 yards and sacked Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson seven times in the Lions‘ 38-30 win over the Ravens in Week 3 on ESPN’s Monday Night Football. The Ravens’ defensive coordinator was a Pro Bowl linebacker before injuries forced him out of the game. Zach Orr will need to reflect and find a lineup that works as a defense. With five first-round picks in the secondary and plenty of star power at key positions, the team can’t get stops or get off the field on third downs. Dan Campbell came in with the plan of controlling the football and time of possession, allowing his offense to take the air out of the Ravens’ explosive offense. Overall, Montgomery had 12 carries for 152 yards (12.6 avg), two touchdowns, and plenty of physical running. At one point, with 2:00 left in the third quarter, the Ravens’ pass rush group had zero sacks on the night and five quarterback hits.
Orr’s defense surrendered 426 yards in front of a raucous home crowd, and his players missed 20 tackles.
