Detroit — With all but two projected starters receiving the night off, the Lions turned their attention to the bubble players competing for a spot on the 53-man roster during Thursday night’s exhibition finale against the Buffalo Bills.
Quarterback Kellen Moore, wide receiver TJ Jones, defensive end Phillip Hunt and defensive tackles Jermelle Cudjo and Kerry Hyder were among the Lions who performed well in a 17-10 victory, giving them a 3-1 record in the exhibition season.
“It’s extremely important to us and the guys are treating it that way,” coach Jim Caldwell told Channel 2 at halftime with the score 10-10.
