The Detroit Lions and their fans are flying high this morning after an upset road win against the Baltimore Ravens on “Monday Night Football.”
Two powerhouse teams traded haymakers, including a whopping seven sacks from the Lions defense, until Detroit came out on top 38-30. Pride of Detroit has all the coverage you could need, including a full recap from Jeremy Reisman, six takeaways from the game from Brandon Knapp, five winners and two losers from John Whiticar, and full grades from Reisman (plus
a ton more to come).
As you can imagine, both NFL analysts and enthusiasts were going wild throughout the game. I put together some of my favorite reactions during and after this epic match up, though it was certainly hard to choose. This is gonna be a fun one, folks. Buckle up.
