The Buffalo Bills defense delivered an impressive performance against the Detroit Lions, holding off a late surge to secure a crucial win. Despite being down three starters in their secondary, the unit came out strong and limited Jared Goff’s opportunities.
Josh Allen continued to solidify his MVP odds with a four-touchdown game, completing 23-of-34 passes for 362 yards while adding 68 yards on the ground. Ty Johnson made big plays in the passing game, and James Cook had two touchdowns on the ground. Ed Oliver stepped up, putting pressure on Goff 10 times.
However, there were concerns about Tyler Bass’s accuracy, as he missed a 24-yard field goal attempt in the first half. The Bills also dealt with injuries to several key players, including Matt Milano and Dorian Williams, who both left the game due to injuries.
The win marked a huge improvement from last week’s performance and sets up the Bills for a potential Super Bowl preview. But fans will be watching closely to see how Bass handles high-pressure situations and if the team can stay healthy through the remainder of the season.
