Lions 17, Bills 10: Buffalo drops exhibition finale, finishes preseason 2-2

The Buffalo Bills lost their preseason finale on the road to the Detroit Lions, 17-10, and this was your highlight of the evening:

Ron Brooks recorded the Bills' lone touchdown on the evening, intercepting a deflected first-quarter pass and returning it for a touchdown. It was all downhill from there, as the Lions outscored the Bills 17-3 from that point. These were the notes that I took on the team - which played exclusively backups and bubble players tonight - throughout the course of the game.

  • Davis makes great catch on tipped pass
  • Ugly DPI on Brooks on next series
  • Bad deep ball tracking by Davis with space (ball under thrown)
  • Second muffed snap (lost) - Urbik snapped without the ball
  • Butler burned badly on 65-yard slant TD
  • Tarpley blows up a screen
  • Solid PBU in space by Tarpley
  • Groves gives up edge on lengthy Zach Zenner run
  • Brooks blows up a WR screen
  • Simms makes one of the most boneheaded plays in NFL QB history
  • Another five-plus-yard run right at Groves
  • Excellent read by Butler on quick hitch to WR for loss
  • Another Enemkpali offside negates third down stop

And with that, the preseason is over.
