There must be technology to virtually extend the goalposts upwards.

I thought sure Lamar was going to escape Barnes and turn it into a TD. He almost missed that field goal!

Another big 3rd and long coming up.

Great call, refs.

Embarassing defense by the Ravens. How does Harbaugh still have a job. /s

21-21. A 60 minute game on the road against one of the NFL’s best teams has been reduced to a 20 minute game left. I’d have taken that going to. The Lions can match these guys. Bodes well for rest of season.

Giving up a TD there is harsh on the defense. But Andrews made the big catch after Branch couldn’t.

The Lions can win this. Would like them to hold the Ravens to a FG on the opening drive. If they do, game on …

67 yard field goal? Risk of block and return might be higher than chance of hitting it.

That’s bad clock management. Should have run on 1st down, bring it down to under a minute, then try to get in field goal range.

MASSIVE stop

10:48, 98 yard drive. As long of a drive you will ever see.

A Ravens 3 and out, just like we all expected.

What makes you think the defense can hold them out for 10 whole minutes, even real time not game clock time.

Wish the Tigers’ move and the Braves’ move on this had been made prior to this past weekend. Even the Tigers’ bats would have been able to hit his pitching Friday.

No Tigers game today. Lions today, Tigers tomorrow.

37-27 Baltimore. Lions’ offense struggles tonight on its first two possessions before hitting its stride, so is playing catch up the entire game. Keeps it relatively close but the Ravens never feel in danger.

So the Tigers can kiss the best record in the AL goodbye (Jays 5 up and win the tiebreaker) as well as that all-important bye (Mariners 2 up and win the tiebreaker and play 3 against the Rockies). But a 4-2 roadtrip will get them in the playoffs, either as the AL Central winner (1 up, lose the tiebreaker unless they sweep Cleveland) or as an AL wildcard (tied with Boston, win the tiebreaker unless swept by Boston; 1 up on Houston, win the tiebreaker). A 3-3 roadtrip will get them in the playoffs for sure as long as those 3 wins are against the same team (i.e, a sweep of either Cleveland or Boston). An 0-6 roadtrip will get them in the playoffs if Houston does no better than 1-5 and Texas does no better than 5-1.

This was huge to me growing up in the '70s. My uncles had saved a box of old Sports Illustrated from the '60s and I used to read and re-read them. Cover stories about the famous Notre Dame-MSU tie game. Hype around Lew Alcindor. And this issue from the spring of 1965 documenting the collapse from the autumn before. https://vault.si.com/vault/1965/03/01/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-fabulous-phillies

Call me old fashioned, but a nice gesture by the Tigers on Fan Appreciation Day would have been winning a game.

I’m glad Skubal is pitching the first game. If he can get the win, who knows how much pressure that would release.

Loss. 85-71. Would need to go 5-1 to win 90 games, 2-4 to beat last year’s win total, 1-5 to tie last year’s win total.
