Buffalo’s 48-42 win snapped Detroit’s franchise record 11-game winning streak and gave the Bills their second win over a team with the conference’s best record in less than a month. Dave Naylor has more on yet another big win for the Bills.
Who wouldn’t watch a rematch of two teams that put up 90 points and nearly 1,100 yards of total offence where the result of the game wasn’t certain until a final onside kick was rescued from the bottom of a pile by the Bills’
Philosophically, the Bills are rarely a team that sells out other parts of their defence to stop the run. It’s a style that has worked well for Sean McDermott during his tenure in Buffalo. It’s also one that occasionally gets the Bills in trouble, such as during their Week 4 loss to Baltimore and last week’s defeat against the Rams.
When asked how they did it, McDermott said “attitude,” But the scheme adjustments were significant as well, with Buffalo understanding that if they could limit the Lions effectiveness on the ground early in the game while their own offence kept scoring, they could steal the game script from Detroit.While the Lions opened with a pair of punts, the Bills answered each time with touchdowns.
All of which opened the door for Campbell to do something he is prone to do – become aggressive and silly by attempting an onside kick with 12 minutes to play down just 10 points. In recent weeks, Allen has begun to play more outside of structure, extending plays with his legs, buying time and then making throws that would be ill-advised for almost any other quarterback on the planet.
