These were the top takeaways from the Buffalo Bills 24-20 victory over the Detroit Lions.
The Buffalo Bills remained undefeated this preseason with a 24-20 win over the Detroit Lions. However, wins don’t carry as much weight in the preseason as the regular season and the takeaways from this game for the Bills aren’t all positive.
After his best game this preseason against the Carolina Panthers, Josh Allen did not look good against the Lions. He finished the game completing only three of six passes for 49 yards. He also threw an ill-advised pass that was intercepted by the Lions. However, a roughing the passer penalty negated the play and the Bills actually finished the drive with a touchdown.
It was the Bills’ running game that did most of the work in the first half with over 120 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. They were able to secure a 14-13 lead at halftime, and held that lead for the remainder of the game.
These are some of the other top takeaways from the Bills’ third preseason game of the year.
