Social media reacts to Lamar Jackson and the Ravens taking the Lions’ defense apart

Lions #Lions

Sunday’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Detroit Lions looked like the most interesting schematic matchup of Week 7. One of many reasons? Baltimore’s offense under Todd Monken against Aaron Glenn’s Detroit defense, which has been one of the NFL’s pleasant surprises this season.

So far? Well, it’s been all Baltimore on both sides of the ball, but Lamar Jackson has been especially ridiculous through the first half.  The Ravens scored touchdowns on each of their first four drives, and that Lions defense has had absolutely no answer whatsoever. Jackson completed 17 of 21 passes in the first half for 255 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 149.0. The Ravens ran 16 times for 100 yards, as well. Overall, Baltimore’s 355 yards to Detroit’s 97 yards gave a pretty thorough picture of the unbalanced nature of that first half, which saw the Ravens head into the locker room with a 28-0 lead.

Social media had a lot to say about it.
