Week 2 kicks off tonight live from Orchard Park as the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions will face off against each other. This isn’t just the Bills’ home opener, it’s the start of their journey in their new Highmark Stadium.
The Bills are coming off a fantastic 36-31 win over the Houston Texans, giving them their first win in Houston since 2006. They have a lot of momentum going into this game against the Lions, who barely won in overtime against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
Both Buffalo and Detroit are near the top of the league in terms of overall talent and they each have their own strengths that they will look to use against each other. This game is a must-see for all NFL fans as they each have some of the best offenses in the league, so it could very well be a high-scoring game.
