Bills handed shutout by Lions to close preseason
Location: Ford Field - Detroit, Michigan
Preseason records: Buffalo (1-2), Detroit (1-2)
In a nutshell:
With mostly backups on the field from the start, the Bills fell behind early and has trouble answering on the scoreboard. Detroit scored on the third play from scrimmage on a 58-yard touchdown run by Dwayne Washington and was up 17-0 at the half en route to a 31-0 victory over Buffalo in the preseason finale.
Buffalo’s offense struggled to string positive plays together as their backup offensive line struggled to block and protect consistently.
