After putting together an impressive three game winning-streak in November, the Detroit Lions came up just short against the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving day, losing in the final seconds, 28-25. Despite being down several starters, the Lions kept things close, but ultimately, the combination of Bills’ star quarterback Josh Allen and All-Pro wide receiver Stefon Diggs proved to be too much in crunch time for a shorthanded Lions’ secondary.
Moral victories aside, there was a lot to like about this performance from the Lions, even if it didn’t result in a win in the standings, like the performance of several of their young players.
