- The Detroit Lions still don't know how to consistently close out games, as evidenced by this stat:
Five blown 4th quarter leads this season. #Lions

- This just about sums up how much Jim Schwartz mishandled the end of Monday's game from a timeouts standpoint:
Harbaugh basically saying he duped the #Lions. Pretended they were going to go for it, but plan was to let time drain and kick. #Ravens

- Following the Lions' excellent first drive to open the game, it was all downhill until they scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
After the Lions' TD drive to open the game, their next 8 drives went: Punt, punt, punt, punt, interception, field goal, punt, interception.

- David Akers kicked off for the Lions for the first time all season on Monday night. It turns out the Lions kept Sam Martin off kickoffs because he got hurt in warmups. Martin was still able to punt, though.
- How about two positive stats from the Lions' loss to the Baltimore Ravens? Here you go:
Stafford passed 4,000 yards passing for a third-straight season on that last drive. #BALvsDET

- If the season ended today, the Lions would pick 15th in the 2014 NFL Draft.
