“Yeah, but it was just the Chicago Bears.”
That’s what some were saying after the Detroit Lions’ Week 2 get-right game. After a disappointing season opener against the Green Bay Packers, not everyone was
convinced that the Lions would return to form despite blowing out the Bears 52-21 last week.
You aren’t hearing many doubters this week. The Lions went into Baltimore on a raucous Monday night and beat the Ravens at their own game. They were physical. They were dominant on the ground. Their defense was flying all over the field. And in every critical moment of the contest, it was the Lions coming up with a big play and the Ravens coming up short.
As a result, the Lions are a near-unanimous top-five team in power rankings, analysts are finally starting to give Dan Campbell some love, and underrated players like Al-Quadin Muhammad are shining in the national spotlight.
