Lions looking to safeties, offense to help slow Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions opened the season having to cope with the schematic wizardly of San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan. And on Monday, they were tasked with slowing reigning MVP and longtime tormenter Aaron Rodgers under the bright lights of prime time at Lambeau Field.

If you thought maybe, just maybe the schedule would start to ease up three weeks into the season, guess again. On Sunday, the Lions welcome the Baltimore Ravens to town, led by another former MVP, and arguably the greatest dual-threat quarterback the league has ever seen in Lamar Jackson.
