Lions-Bills observations: Matthew Stafford sharp, penalties mount

Skip to main content

Matthew Stafford looks just fine. Can’t say the same, however, about the Detroit Lions’ injury report.

Stafford made his preseason debut Friday and looked sharp while completing 12 of 19 passes for 137 yards. He led two scoring drives, departed with a 10-7 lead and most importantly came out of the game healthy, after there’d been speculation about the health of his back given his lack of action so far this summer.

But while Stafford walked away unscathed, the Lions lost two starters to scary-looking injuries against the Buffalo Bills.
