Instant analysis from Ravens’ 38-6 win over Detroit Lions

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:08:01 GMT

Here’s what The Baltimore Sun sports staff had to say immediately after the Ravens’ 38-6 win over the Detroit Lions in Sunday’s Week 7 game at M&T Bank Stadium.Brian Wacker: This was the Ravens offense fans were expecting when Baltimore signed Lamar Jackson to a $260 million extension and brought in receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Zay Flowers and offensive coordinator Todd Monken. It also became apparent very quickly that there would be no hangover from last week’s red zone struggles in London, nor would there be the kind of drama from the last time these teams met two years ago.Jackson was accurate, the Ravens were aggressive and explosive with their play calling and the Lions’ own dynamic offense was completely shut down by a defense that has continually proven to be one of the best in the league.Earlier this season, coach John Harbaugh referred to Jackson as the team’s point guard on offense and he looked every bit that part again, directin...

MANILA, Philippines — A Chinese coast guard ship and an accompanying vessel rammed a Philippine coast guard ship and a military-run supply boat Sunday off a contested shoal, Philippine officials said, in an encounter that heightened fears of an armed conflict in the disputed South China Sea.A top Philippine security official told The Associated Press there were no injuries among the Filipino crew members and an assessment of the damage to both vessels was underway.The official said that the two incidents near Second Thomas Shoal, where China has repeatedly tried to isolate a Philippine marine outpost, could have been worse if the vessels were not able to maneuver rapidly away from the Chinese ships. The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to a lack of authority to publicly discuss the matter.China’s sweeping territorial claims in the South China Sea, including over islands closer to Philippine shore, have raised tensions and brought in the United States, a longtime tr...

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said he’s fully recovered from health issues that led him to freeze in public and he prodded House GOP members to agree on a new speaker to end the paralysis of the U.S. legislative branch.Questions about the 81-year-old McConnell’s health have lingered since he suffered a serious fall at a political fundraiser in March, then abruptly halted speaking twice within two months at events.“I’m completely recovered, and I’m just fine,” he said in an interview airing Sunday on CBS’s Face the Nation. “I’m in good shape, completely recovered and back on the job.”While Democrats are in control of the U.S. Senate, Congress has been hamstrung for almost three weeks by a speakership vacancy in the Republican-led House, where a group of right-wing dissidents instigated the ouster of Kevin McCarthy. Two other candidates failed to win enough support and new candidacies are due by noon Sunday.“It does send a poor message to our allies and our enemies around t...
