Yes, it was the fourth and final preseason game which is meaningless, but if the Buffalo Bills have another strong running game this season it could be a pleasant surprise in a season that keeps getting tied to words like “tank” and “rebuild.”
The Buffalo Bills piled up over 200 yards rushing against Detroit. Even though both sides had reserve players in the game, it was a nice to see the offense move the ball and control the clock. That helped the defense stay fresh and keep the Lions from doing much when they had the ball. Those two things will be the foundation of the Buffalo Bills success this season.
