In this episode of Saturday vs Sunday, we break down the Lions’ commanding win over the Ravens, a game defined by Aidan Hutchinson and the Detroit defense. We talk about Hutch’s impact up front, the Lions’ relentless pass rush that sacked Lamar Jackson seven times, and a run defense that completely neutralized Derrick Henry after his opening drive. On the flip side, Detroit’s offense dominated the trenches, piling up over 220 rushing yards and sustaining long, clock-chewing drives that wore Baltimore down.
For the Ravens, we discuss the troubling trend of late-game collapses and questionable red zone play-calling that cost them once again. For the Lions, it was a statement performance—physical in the trenches, creative on offense, and fearless in execution, especially with Dan Campbell’s aggressive fourth-down call late in the game. Bottom line: Hutchinson and the Lions looked every bit like Super Bowl contenders, while the Ravens leave us wondering if something deeper is wrong.
