DETROIT -- They stood on the sidelines in baseball caps and jerseys. None of the Detroit Lions starters on offense played a down Thursday against the Buffalo Bills -- and really, none of them were expected to.
But the concern still remains for the Lions as they transition from the preseason to the regular season. This is an offensive unit that didn’t score a touchdown in the exhibition season. For all of their talk of being an offense that Matthew Stafford feels comfortable in, the group has struggled with penalties and with offensive blocking consistency.
