We have a Detroit Lions Week 7 game scheduled against the Baltimore Ravens. The Lions are coming off a much-needed and dominant win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6. The Lions will now face the Ravens in Week 7, and some projections for this game could make or break the Lions’ season. As the Lions prepare to face the Ravens, here are four bold predictions for the game that could lead to another defeat for Detroit.
Detroit Lions Lost in Week 6
The Lions won against the Buccaneers in Week 6 with a final score of 20-6. The Lions’ defense played a significant role in the victory by intercepting Baker Mayfield once and limiting the Buccaneers to 251 yards of total offense. The Buccaneers were only able to score two field goals of 33 and 36 yards on their only possessions that ended in Detroit’s red zone.
Despite losing their leading rusher David Montgomery to injury, the Lions were able to overcome this setback with Goff’s arm and a stingy defense. Goff threw for 353 yards and two touchdowns. These included a 27-yard pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown and a 45-yard pass to Jameson Williams. The Lions’ defense only gave up six points, which is a testament to their strong performance throughout the game. With this win, the Lions are off to their fastest start since 2011 and share the NFL’s best record at 5-1.
Goff Goes Off
In Sunday’s victory over the Buccaneers, Goff had a truly impressive performance, finishing with a 107.5 passer rating. While the Lions have primarily relied on their defense and run game for wins this season, Goff showcased his skills with a season-high 44 pass attempts. He displayed the ability to connect with his receivers for significant plays, completing six passes for more than 20 yards. That included a 47-yard touchdown pass to Jameson Williams. So far this season, Goff has had either 300 passing yards or three touchdowns in three of the six games played. After his Week 6 performance with 353 passing yards and two touchdowns, it may be time to have faith in Goff. This is especially true with his receiving corps now healthy. Despite the Ravens’ defense being one of the toughest against quarterbacks, Goff should have a solid outing. We have him going over 300 yards again with a 100-plus passer rating.
Amon-Ra Amazes
Amon-Ra St. Brown had a remarkable game in Week 6. He recorded 12 receptions on 15 targets for 124 yards and a touchdown during the win against the Buccaneers. St. Brown had returned from a one-game absence due to an abdominal injury but showed no signs of being affected by it. He achieved season-high numbers in targets, receptions, and yards. He also had key receptions of 27 and 23 yards, one of which resulted in a touchdown. Although St. Brown has been limited to seven or eight targets in three of his five games this season, he has managed to surpass 100 receiving yards on three occasions. He should easily pass 100 yards again in Week 7.
