The Bills showcased their offensive prowess, while the Lions struggled to find their rhythm in a game that had significant implications for both teams.
Quarterback Josh Allen led the charge for the Bills, throwing for 206 yards and two touchdowns, proving to be a constant threat throughout the contest. He connected with tight end Dalton Kincaid, who racked up 72 receiving yards, while running back James Cook III contributed with 73 rushing yards, keeping the Lions’ defense on its heels.
On the defensive side, the Bills applied consistent pressure, highlighted by Greg Rousseau's 1.5 sacks and Christian Benford's pivotal interception, which halted a Lions drive and shifted momentum.
