Impressive drives: The Detroit Lions took a 14-7 lead late in the second quarter after a masterful third possession where Detroit ran 18 plays, covered 98 yards and possessed the ball for 10 minutes and 48 seconds while capping the drive off with a 1-yard David Montgomery touchdown run. Detroit ran 12 times on the drive and converted four third downs. For an encore, Detroit's offense had a seven-play, 96-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.
O-line play: For a second straight week, Detroit's offensive line completely dominated the defensive front playing across from them. Detroit rushed for 224 yards, totaled 426 yards of offense, and gave up zero sacks for a second straight week.
Quarterback Jared Goff said he's been really impressed the last two weeks with how young guards Tate Ratledge and Christian Mahogany have settled in and are playing at a really high level alongside veterans Taylor Decker, Penei Sewell and Graham Glasgow. The o-line has looked great the last two weeks.
Hot start: Edge rusher Al-Quadin Muhammad registered four tackles (three solo), three quarterback hits, 2.5 sacks and two tackles for loss in Detroit's win over Baltimore Monday. It's a single-game career high in sacks and tied his single-game record for quarterback hits and tackles for loss. He is the seventh player in franchise history to total 3.5 sacks through the first three games of any season. The Lions needed someone to step up with Marcus Davenport (chest) going on IR Monday. Muhammad has shown he's more than capable.
Mr. third down: Usually wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is Goff's go-to target on third down. Monday night, it was third-year tight end Sam LaPorta, who converted three key third-down receptions into first downs. He had a 10-yard catch on a 3rd & 7, a 14-yard grab on a 3rd & 8, and converted a 3rd & 3 with a 7-yard reception in the third quarter.

Special teams clean-ups: Overall, Detroit played complementary football Monday in all three phases, but there were a couple special teams hiccups they'll look to clean up moving forward. They allowed a 43-yard kickoff return where kicker Jake Bates had to make a touchdown-saving tackle. They also kicked a ball out of bounds on a kickoff, allowing Baltimore to start a drive at the 40.
4th & 2: What a call by offensive coordinator John Morton and what trust Goff has in St. Brown to put the game away on a 20-yard over-the-shoulder throw to St. Brown on a 4th & 2 play from midfield. Those two are on another level in terms of the trust they have in one another and their playmaking ability. The Lions were a perfect 3-for-3 converting fourth downs in the contest.
All over the field: It's been really good seeing linebacker Derrick Barnes back in the lineup after he missed nearly all of last season with a knee injury. Barnes' versatility to rush the passer and play off the ball is a huge asset. He had six tackles, a sack and a quarterback hit Monday.
Record try: Lions head coach Dan Campbell gave Bates a chance at history. With the first-half clock winding down, Campbell sent Bates out to try a 67-yard field goal. The NFL record for longest made field goal is 66 yards. It looked like Bates had enough leg but missed it just left.
13-0: The Lions are 13-0 when Jahmyr Gibbs and Montgomery record a scrimmage touchdown in the same game.
Run game rolling: Detroit has topped 425 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns while maintaining a rushing average of 5.0 yards through the first three games of the season. The Lions have done a good job the last two weeks establishing the run and it's a big reason why they've rolled off two straight impressive wins after dropping the season opener in Green Bay.
