The team deserves to soak up this victory and bask in the joy of notching a big win over Johnson and the Bears, but they don\u2019t have too long to go until they\u2019re up against one of the best teams in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Next up, the Detroit Lions will take on the Baltimore Ravens for Monday Night Football on Monday, September 22. This should be another good matchup, and the Lions are underdogs heading into it. The Ravens\u2019 quarterback, Lamar Jackson, is one of the best in the league, so they\u2019re always a challenging team.<\/p>\n<p>For the Lions to prevail this season, they have to stay healthy. They can\u2019t have a repeat of last season, when their entire defensive line was out. Okay, that\u2019s a big much, but the Lions\u2019 defensive line was one of the most injured in the NFL last season. Now, head coach Dan Campbell is delivering some not-great news about one of their injured players.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.woodtv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2025\/09\/Bears_Lions_Football_25257643002132-1.jpg\" alt=\"Goff throws 5 TDs, 3 to St. Brown, and Lions bounce back with win over Ben  Johnson-led Bears | WOODTV.com\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Detroit Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell is Too Quiet About Player<\/h2>\n<p>Campbell was asked about the injury status of edge rusher Marcus Davenport this week. During an interview with\u00a097.1 The Ticket on Wednesday morning, September 17, Campbell was wishy-washy on Davenport\u2019s status and certainly didn\u2019t make any promises about whether he\u2019ll be able to play against the Ravens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing new there,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cI\u2019m probably not going to know until the end of the week. But as far as depth, we\u2019re good. We\u2019re in a pretty good place here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cYou know, we made some acquisitions, Brad did, right out of camp. So we\u2019re pretty good depth wise here, but we\u2019ll know more at the end of the week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/SkAkXDQPdX_Z_pMakQ7FDw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTY0MDtoPTQyNztjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/detroit_free_press_usa_today_sports_articles_655\/fcb4d9ff7e7b57b9223a9e7a53766bc7\" alt=\"Detroit Lions DE Marcus Davenport 'happy' with win, uncertain about  shoulder injury - Yahoo Sports\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Are the Lions really good in depth on Davenport\u2019s position? That\u2019s up for debate. But, it appears there\u2019s a real possibility that he won\u2019t be playing in Monday\u2019s game, which could hurt the Lions. We hope he gets better soon.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions is Underrated<\/h2>\n<p>Goff has picked up his first big honor of the 2025-26 season, and it came early in the season. Goff has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week following the win over the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n<p>Goff should soak up this honor and enjoy it all week long. After the Lions\u2019 loss to the Packers, some in the NFL said it was a sign that Goff wouldn\u2019t thrive without the direction and guidance of Johnson, but he proved them all wrong against Williams and the Bears. Goff was able to show that he\u2019ll be just as reliable and successful this season. That should make the Motor City very excited for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Goff was also named one of the most underrated quarterbacks of 2025 by Alternative Fix, and he deserves it. Now, it\u2019s Goff vs. Jackson, and we\u2019re here for it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Detroit Lions are coming off a great win against the Chicago Bears, but they just got hit with some news that could be a setback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32964,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
