For the first time in the history of their franchise, the Lions were odds-on favorites to win the Super Bowl this season. That changed Sunday when the Bills beat them 48-42 and surged ahead of the Lions in championship odds.
The Lions’ bandwagon blew a tire on Sunday, fueled by even more injuries and giving up nearly half a hundred points in a home game.
Defensive tackle Alim McNeil tore his right knee in that game. Cornerback Carlton Davis broke his jaw. Both are out for the season, bringing the number of Lions defensive starters on the shelf to six.
