For the first of many times this season, the Detroit Lions are on primetime television, playing the Baltimore Ravens on “Monday Night Football.” Both teams head into this matchup 1-1, with disappointing
losses in the opening week and a strong rebound in the following game. Baltimore hosts the matchup again, and the last time these two teams met, the Ravens beat down the Lions, 38-6.
“The environment, the opponent, most of our guys have seen them up close, real-time. If you didn’t have an idea, you have a real good idea now what you’re going into. Rugged team, tough, disciplined, really good players,” said Campbell. “We respect what they’re about. We’re looking forward to this, going out to their place on Monday night. This is going to be fun. This is one of those, this is why you do it.”
