While it wasn’t pretty at times, the Buffalo Bills did what they needed to do to secure their third preseason victory in as many tries. This time it was a 24-20 win on the road against the Detroit Lions.
The third preseason game is usually the one that the starters would see the most time in the preseason. This was the case as the Bills had their starters in for most of the first half.
The offense, behind Josh Allen, did not look as sharp as they did against the Carolina Panthers. The Bills first three drives to start the game ended with two three and outs and a turnover, a fumble by Cole Beasley, that set the Lions up with a short field.
