Bills overcome slow start, beat Browns at Ford Field in Detroit, 31-23

Detroit — Act one is complete.

The Buffalo Bills overcame a slow start in the first of two games at Ford Field this week, sleepwalking to a thorough dismantling of the Cleveland Browns, 31-23, in front of a Detroit crowd that ran 52,146 deep.

The game was moved to Detroit on Thursday because of a thundersnow storm that hit western New York starting Thursday night and has accumulated over six feet.

Sunday marked the third time that Ford Field has been used as an emergency venue and the second time that Buffalo tuned an opponent as the home team in Detroit, the other instance coming in a 38-3 win over the New York Jets in 2014.
