The Baltimore Ravens beat the Lions 44-20 on Sunday.  Matthew Stafford was 24 of 29 for 292 yards and one interception and threw for one touchdown.  Stafford threw a team-record 20 straight pass completions in the second half, but he was sacked three times and the Lions were held to less than 80 yards rushing.  Stafford left the game late in the fourth quarter with a bruised hand after being stepped on. Ex-rays were negative.  Lions coach Jim Caldwell took responsibility for mistakes that led to the loss, such as the play where they had just nine defenders on the field for a key third-and-7 conversion early in the fourth quarter.  The Lions are 6-6 and play at Tampa Bay this Sunday and still have games against the Bears, Bengals and Packers.
