As the 2023-24 season reaches its midpoint, the Baltimore Ravens find themselves in a respectable position with a 4-2 record, secured by their recent victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 6 of NFL action. Looking ahead to Week 7, the Ravens face a challenging matchup against the 5-1 Detroit Lions on their home turf. However, there’s a bit of a fiery situation involving Odell Beckham Jr. The NFL slapped Beckham Jr. with a fine of $33,317 due to his involvement in an expensive altercation with the Titans during the previous game, where he committed two unnecessary roughness violations, according to Tom Pelissero.
The Ravens emerged victorious in their clash with the Titans, but it was a mixed bag for Beckham Jr. On the field, Titans’ defensive end Jeffrey Simmons made a last-minute attempt to tackle Ravens running back Zach Flowers with a questionable move targeting Flowers’ legs, likely serving as the spark that ignited Beckham’s initial frustration. Despite this, Baltimore outplayed the Titans and secured a 24-10 win.
In terms of performance, Lamar Jackson played a pivotal role for the Ravens, leading in both passing and rushing yards. Jackson completed 223 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception while also contributing 62 rushing yards on 13 carries. In contrast, Beckham Jr. had fewer opportunities but made them count with two receptions for 34 yards.
With a formidable opponent like the Detroit Lions on the horizon, the Ravens will need all their offensive firepower. The Lions have held their opponents to 24 points or less in their last four games, and their passing attack will be spearheaded by Jared Goff.
To secure a win on their home turf, the Ravens must maximize their offensive potential while ensuring a strong defensive performance. Despite last week’s skirmish, Odell Beckham Jr. remains determined to make a significant impact on the game.
