What’s up, gridiron gourmets — Big Dill in the building. Under the Monday night lights in Baltimore, the Lions showed up with steel-toed boots and a sledgehammer, outmuscling the Ravens 38-30 at M&T Bank. Detroit’s ground game set the tone early and late, and when the stage got loud, Dan Campbell’s crew cranked it louder. For the ticket counters: Detroit cashed as road dogs, and this one cruised past the total. (espn.com)

This one see-sawed through three quarters. Detroit struck first on a 1-yard plunge by Jahmyr Gibbs and answered a Derrick Henry 28-yard burst with a marathon 98-yard march capped by David Montgomery’s 1-yard smash. Rashod Bateman’s late second-quarter score sent us tied to half, and Mark Andrews nudged Baltimore ahead out of the break before Amon‑Ra St. Brown answered with an 18-yard rope from Jared Goff. Then came the spice: on 4th-and-1 to open the fourth, Detroit dialed up the jet-sweep pitch back to Gibbs for six, a little razzle to go with all that dazzle. (espn.com)

From there, the Lions’ defense went to work with a seven-sack symphony, shrinking lanes and keeping Lamar Jackson in a vice. A Derrick Henry fumble in the fourth set up a Detroit field goal, and the dagger arrived when Goff ripped a 4th-and-2 strike to St. Brown, followed by Montgomery’s house call from 31. Andrews’ second TD in the final minute kept it spicy, but the failed two-pointer ended the drama. Also notable: Baltimore was shorthanded off the edge, and Detroit became the first team since 2021 to stack two TD drives of 95+ yards in the same game. That’s bully-ball with a bow. (espn.com)

Numbers to marinate on: Goff 20/28, 202 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT; St. Brown 7/77/1; Gibbs 22 rushes, 67 yards, 2 TD plus 5 catches; and the hammer himself, Montgomery 12 carries, 151 yards, 2 TD, including a 72-yard jailbreak and the closer from 31. On the other side, Jackson 21/27, 288 yards, 3 TD and Andrews 6/91/2 kept Baltimore swinging, but Detroit owned the trenches, outrushing the Ravens 224-85 while piling up those seven sacks. First win for the Lions in Baltimore, snapping a five-game skid in the series — and they did it with attitude. (espn.com)

Big Dill of the Game: David Montgomery — 151 on just 12 totes with 2 TD, a fourth-quarter closer straight outta a closer’s handbook. That’s the show, folks. I’m Dillon “Big Dill” Smith for Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you next time.
