A Unit That’s Hard to Stop
When Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, and David Montgomery are all rolling, the Detroit Lions offense turns into something close to unstoppable. The numbers don’t lie: Detroit is 12-0 when Gibbs and Montgomery both score in a game, and a perfect 9-0 when Gibbs, Montgomery, and St. Brown all find the end zone. That kind of balance makes this group one of the league’s deadliest combinations.
Goff at the Helm of the Orchestra
Quarterback Jared Goff looked every bit the conductor last week, throwing for 334 yards and five touchdowns against Chicago. His chemistry with St. Brown had head coach Dan Campbell calling their connection “a true work of art.” Whether it’s a quick hitter on third down or a deep strike after play-action, Goff trusts his playmakers — and with good reason.
The Ravens’ Challenge
Tonight’s Monday Night Football clash in Baltimore isn’t a walkover. The Ravens have hung 40-plus points in each of their first two games. But Baltimore’s defense will be missing key pressure creators Kyle Van Noy and Nnamdi Madubuike, leaving room for Detroit’s offense to cook again.
Complementary Weapons Everywhere
Williams’ speed stretches defenses thin, creating room for St. Brown to feast underneath. Gibbs and Montgomery keep defenses guessing with their change-of-pace styles, turning the backfield into a constant counterpunch. And when everyone blocks the way they did last week — St. Brown sealing edges, Williams sprinting downfield to clear space — it shows why this unit is more than flash. They’re tough, disciplined, and dangerous.
Can They Outgun Lamar?
The Ravens, led by Lamar Jackson, are on fire. But the Lions believe their four-headed monster can trade blow for blow in what could turn into a primetime shootout. If history holds true, and all four of Detroit’s stars shine, Baltimore’s defense might be in for a very long night.
