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's defensive end depth has become a strength as Marcus Davenport hits IR and Al-Quadin Muhammad steps in, flashing the ability to rush from edge, nose or 3-tech, and to anchor in the run game. Muhammad's ascent has coaches raving he’s far from “just another guy.”

Tyler Lacy, plucked from Jacksonville, has turned heads in drills and two solid outings, with the staff hinting at strongside edge duties opposite Hutchinson. The Lions bolt together a multi-faceted rotation that keeps the base defense versatile and fresh all season.

Detroit toppled Baltimore on MNF with a balanced attack and a relentless defense. Montgomery ripped a 72-yard burst and the Lions never turned it over as Goff stayed clean, while seven Lions sacks on Jackson sealed the game. LaPorta capped it by snagging the onside kick to ice the game.

For fantasy, Montgomery's workload, Hutchinson's disruption, and St. Brown's late connection matter most; the Lions look dangerous going forward, while Baltimore faces needed adjustments as they regroup for Browns. This game underscored Detroit's growth and the Ravens' lingering inconsistencies.
