The Lions returned to Baltimore with a score to settle, and did just that on Monday Night Football.
Behind 225 rushing yards on offense and seven sacks on defense, the Lions took down Lamar Jackson and the Ravens 38-30.
David Montgomery led the way for Detroit with 151 yards on the ground and two touchdowns, the second of which came from 31 yards out and sealed the game with under two minutes to go.
Jared Goff completed 20 of 28 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown. His biggest throw was his last, a 20-yarder floated down the sideline to Amon-Ra St. Brown on fourth down from midfield that set up Montgomery's second touchdown.
The Lions went 3-for-3 on 4th down, and had touchdown drives of 98 yards and 96 yards.
On defense, Al-Quadin Muhammad had 2.5 sacks and three quarterback hits to lead a pass rush that harassed Jackson for most of the night, especially in the second half. The seven sacks matched the most Jackson has taken in his game in his career.
Aidan Hutchinson forced a fumble in the fourth quarter by punching the ball out of Derrick Henry's possession to set up a field goal for Detroit on a drive where the Ravens could have taken the lead and started the next drive by sacking Jackson.
The Lions' last trip to Baltimore was one of the worst losses of the Dan Campbell era, a 38-6 beatdown in 2023. Two years later, they returned for one of their best wins.
