In a decisive Week 2 matchup, the Buffalo Bills topped the Detroit Lions 24-6, showcasing their dominance on both sides of the ball. With this victory, the Bills improve their record early in the 2026 season, while the Lions will look to regroup after a tough outing. Jared Goff led the Lions offense, throwing for 213 yards and a touchdown, with Jalin Hyatt emerging as his primary target, racking up 122 receiving yards. However, the Lions struggled to find offensive rhythm beyond this connection, as their ground game was stifled throughout the contest. On the other side, James Cook III carried the load for Buffalo, finishing with 76 rushing yards and contributing to the Bills' balanced attack. Defensively, the Bills made a significant impact, led by Ed Oliver, who recorded 1.5 sacks, disrupting Goff's timing and forcing critical mistakes. Dorian Williams anchored the defense with four total tackles, ensuring the Lions couldn't find their footing. The turning point came in the second quarter when the Bills intercepted a Goff pass, shifting momentum their way and setting the stage for a commanding win.
