Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season is winding down with a Monday Night Football matchup between the Detroit Lions and the Baltimore Ravens.
Both teams, who won their respective divisions last season, are entering tonight’s game with 1-1 records.
Detroit has been in an adjustment period with head coach Dan Campbell and and his new coordinators John Morton and Kelvin Sheppard. Week 1 opened with a loss to the Packers, but the Lions came back wth a big 52-21 victory over the Chicago Bears last week.
Baltimore, an early contender, faces a tough road ahead beginning with tonight’s test against the Lions; their next three games will be against other playoff hopefuls, the Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams.
