In a decisive victory, the Buffalo Bills topped the Detroit Lions 34-14 in Week 2 of the 2026 season. The win solidifies Buffalo's strong start to the season, showcasing their offensive firepower while putting Detroit in a tough spot early on. Josh Allen was the standout performer for the Bills, throwing for three touchdowns and leading his team with precision. Complementing his effort, James Cook III rushed for 102 yards, while Khalil Shakir made the most of his opportunities, racking up 108 receiving yards. Together, they created a potent offensive threat that the Lions struggled to contain. On the defensive side, the Bills' unit was relentless, with Maxwell Hairston leading the charge with eight total tackles. Although Landon Jackson registered only half a sack, the pressure he and the rest of the defense applied to Jared Goff was significant, forcing key turnovers and stalling Detroit's drives.
