The most exciting game of the day unfolded in Detroit, where the Buffalo Bills triumphed over the Lions in a thrilling 48-42 shootout, marking the highest-scoring game of the season.

Buffalo dominated the contest from start to finish, improving their record to 11-3, while Detroit fell to 12-2, now sharing the top spot in the NFC with the Philadelphia Eagles.

As the Lions approach the final stretch of the regular season, their biggest concern is the growing list of injuries on defense.

Key players have been sidelined week after week, and it’s starting to show on a defense that has already been under pressure throughout the year.

Despite the loss, Lions head coach Dan Campbell made a bold declaration, taking full responsibility for the defeat. However, he remained optimistic about his team’s resilience. ”

You lose and it’s a bad taste in your mouth. We’re going to bounce back,” Campbell said confidently.

Campbell made a few controversial decisions during the game, such as an onside kick attempt with 12 minutes left, which the Bills recovered inside the 10-yard line and converted for an easy touchdown.

Though these high-risk calls sometimes backfire, they’ve been integral to Detroit’s success this season, contributing to their 11-game win streak that was snapped on Sunday.

Looking ahead, the Lions’ final regular-season games will be against the Chicago Bears, San Francisco 49ers, and Minnesota Vikings.

These matchups could ultimately decide the NFC North title, and may also determine whether Detroit secures the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the NFC. The Vikings (11-2) will face the Bears on Monday night, with a chance to improve to 12-2, putting pressure on Detroit’s remaining schedule.
