The Detroit Lions secured a thrilling 35-27 victory over the Buffalo Bills in a Week 2 matchup of the 2026 season.

The Lions' defense played a pivotal role in the outcome, with Jack Campbell leading the charge with seven total tackles.

The Lions managed to hold off a late-game surge from the Bills, demonstrating resilience and securing their victory.
