When the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions kick off today, both teams will be playing for pride only. The Bills have officially been eliminated from playoff contention, and while the Lions are technically still alive, they would need a whole lot of help over the last three weeks of the season in order to qualify.
Detroit has declared five layers out for this afternoon’s game, as the banged-up Lions limp to the end of the season. Buffalo is dealing with plenty of injuries, as well, after a particularly physical contest against the New York Jets last weekend.
