Detroit with a balanced attack rode Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery to a 37-24 win over Cincinnati, riding tight ends Sam LaPorta and Isaac TeSlaa and a defensive trio of takeaways to seize control early. Cincinnati’s Browning was hounded, and the Lions built a 28-3 cushion before the late Bengals rally. Detroit’s win puts them at 4-1 ahead of a primetime test at Kansas City, while Decker’s absence exposed the O-line as the unit eyes renewed protection for Goff.

Detroit seized a primetime stage with a 38-30 win over Baltimore, leaning on a rugged ground game that produced 200+ rushing yards as Gibbs and Montgomery shared the workload. Goff stayed turnover-free and iced the game with a fourth-and-1 conversion, while Detroit’s defense leaned on depth—Muhammad delivered 2.5 sacks and Hutchinson added pressure and a forced fumble. The win pushes Detroit to 2-1 and signals a versatile, resistant roster thriving behind strong complementary pieces.
