Aidan Hutchinson’s Mom Captures America’s Attention As The Lions Pick Up A Big Win On Monday Night Football
Detroit rolled into Baltimore, smacked the Ravens, and Melissa Hutchinson grabbed some of the spotlight
The reports of the downfall of the Detroit Lions might have been a bit premature. They're still a team that needs to be respected, and they proved that in primetime on Monday Night Football.
The Lions were firing on all cylinders last night.

Let's not forget the contribution to the big win from his mom, Melissa Hutchinson. She was ready for the game and the return to the spotlight as she grabbed some camera time.
His sister Aria was also in the stands watching the Lions improve to 2-1 on the season. It was a team effort all around for the Detroit Lions.
The Lions and Melissa Hutchinson silence doubters with primetime road win over Ravens
It's very early in the season, but the Lions had to be feeling the disrespect. Sure, they opened the season with a bad loss to the Packers in Green Bay, but that was no reason to write them off.
In Week 2, they bounced back with a dominant win over the Chicago Bears. That performance wasn't enough to sway some of the doubters.
Entering Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens on the road, they weren't given much of a chance. All they did was come together and make sure from the field into the stands they were on the same page.
The Lions then proceeded to hand the Ravens, who were favored at home, a 38-30 loss. A late score made the game closer than it actually was.
Again, it was an impressive performance all around. Who steals the spotlight on the road in Baltimore? The answer is the Lions, and Melissa Hutchinson.
