“They got a good defense, great coach. They play hard, good players. So coming in here, we knew was gonna be a battle. They're physical, we're physical. So I think the way we got the win was bigger than anything. Just the way we were able to finish that game. Defense had huge stops. We were able to grind down, get those first downs to win it,” Brown added.
As per The Guardian, the Lions scored on drives of 98 and 96 yards against the Ravens' front. St. Brown also highlighted this fact after the game. “To get seven sacks (against Jackson) is insane, hats off to our defense,” the 25-year-old said.
