After a Thanksgiving loss, the Detroit Lions look to bounce back against a defensive juggernaut that is the Baltimore Ravens.
With the Thanksgiving day loss to their divisional foes, the 9-2 Minnesota Vikings, the Detroit Lions have likely lost their chance to win the NFC North with a record of 6-5 and only five games to go. But the Lions are certainly in the playoff hunt, with a favorable schedule ahead of them.
First up are the defensive minded 6-5 Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have won three of their last four games, two of which were complete shutouts by their dominate defense. Those being a 40-0 blowout of the Miami Dolphins in Week 8 and a 23-0 shellacking of the Green Bay Packers in Week 11.

Overcoming Baltimore at home is the first step to the Lions reaching the postseason for the third time in four years under the helm of head coach Jim Caldwell.
