Week 7’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens was supposed to be a matchup of two of the NFL’s best teams. What ended up happening was one team looked like a Super Bowl contender, and the other looked as if they had forgotten to get off the bus.
The Lions got blown out by the Raves but again, it may not be a wasted week. Dan Campbell is already using it as a way to motivate the team going forward, and for a young team, it is a lesson that needs to be learned.

Jahmyr Gibbs showed he was capable of handling a larger workload in the absence of David Montgomery. Outside of that, the team didn’t take a step back but didn’t take a step forward.
Lots of films to review if you are a part of this Lions rookie class to then learn from, so it is not a wasted week.
