Preseason records: Buffalo (1-3), Detroit (2-2)
In a nutshell:
Most of Buffalo’s starters didn’t play, but those who did looked ready to go. Scoring on their first two possessions, the Bills jumped out to a 10-0 lead and the Lions were never able to close the gap. Behind an offensive attack that rolled up more than 200 yards rushing and had three touchdowns on the ground, Buffalo won handily 27-17.
Jonathan Williams, Joe Banyard and Jordan Johnson all had rushing touchdowns in the game as the Bills averaged better than five yards per carry in the game.
