Lions vs. Ravens: Live score updates, highlights, latest news

Giving you the latest news from the Lions’ Week 3 matchup against the Ravens.

It’s Week 3, and for the Detroit Lions, it means another opportunity to find its first win in the Dan Campbell era. The Lions have showed glimpses of being a team that can compete with the big boys in this league, but they’ve yet to put together more than a half of that kind of play.

This week it won’t be easy. The Baltimore Ravens are in town and they’re riding high after a big win over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Led by Lamar Jackson, the Chiefs have had the most dangerous rushing attack in the league for several years, and the Lions have struggled against the run for the first couple weeks of the season.

Can the Lions give Jackson and the Ravens offense the clamps, or will Baltimore run through Detroit on their way to a 2-1 record?

We’ll be providing live updates, highlights and any injury news that develops right here as the game kicks off at 1 p.m. ET. Just keep hitting that refresh button.

First quarter

Detroit’s offense started with the ball again this week, but after a couple first downs, they stalled at midfield. Punter Jack Fox, however, was able to pin the Ravens at their own 3-yard line. Detroit’s defense took advantage by forcing a three-and-out thanks to a huge tackle for loss from linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin, who was in for Jamie Collins Sr., who was scratched while he remains on the trading block.

Detroit couldn’t take advantage of the good field position, though. A botched trick play nearly resulted in a turnover and Jared Goff was sacked on third down. This time, Fox had the punt go off the side of his foot, giving the Ravens the ball back at their own 30.

Lamar Jackson completed a couple quick passes to move Baltimore in field goal range. But Detroit’s stiffened up with a big third-and-3 stop by AJ Parker, who hit running back Latavius Murray in the backfield. Ravens kicker Justin Tucker uncharacteristically missed a 49-yard field goal, giving the Lions good field position.

The Lions, again, made nothing of the good field position. A good run from Jamaal Williams got them onto the Ravens side of the field, but facing a fourth-and-1, the Lions opted to go for it. Before they could run a play, though, tight end Darren Fells committed a false start and the Lions punted.

Lamar Jackson got the Ravens out of the shadow of their own end zone with a 31-yard scramble, as the first quarter came to an end scoreless, 0-0.

Second quarter

Facing a third-and-9 to start the second quarter, Jackson couldn’t find anyone for the Ravens and tried to scramble for the first down, but Romeo Okwara caught him from behind to force the punt.

Detroit’s offense still was stuck in neutral. Jonah Jackson committed a holding penalty that wiped out an 8-yard run, then committed a personal foul penalty after third down, forcing the Lions to punt from their own end zone.

The Ravens would take over on the Lions’ 46-yard line after another Lions penalty, and this time they would break open the scoring. Jackson found a wide open Mark Andrews for a 21-yard gain. But Detroit’s defense would force the Ravens to a field goal attempt and this time Tucker hit from 39 yards. 3-0 Ravens.
