Buffalo Bills get barometer vs. superstar-driven Lions on TNF in Week 2
We can get overly obsessed with scheme and coaching in the NFL. And it’s not that they’re unimportant. It’s that players make those schemes and said coaching come to life on the field, especially in the most critical moments. Typically, the club hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in February features a roster relatively loaded with All-Pro, […]

Buffalo Bills records to watch against the Detroit Lions
A new season means new chances to rewrite the record books, and it didn’t take long for us to have to start scribbling in ours. The Buffalo Bills opened the season with a 36-31 win over the Houston Texans, and several of the numbers we were watching last week moved — including a couple that earned permanent ink. Now […]
Buffalo Bills heroes and head-scratchers ahead of Week 2’s game vs Detroit Lions
The Bills survived Houston. They got 96 hours to fix everything that almost got them beat before Josh Allen and company make their first official appearance at the new Highmark Stadium against a Lions team that just needed overtime to put away the Saints. Buffalo’s 36-31 win over the Texans was one of the most […]
Buffalo Bills K Tyler Bass’ nearly flawless start needed vs. Detroit Lions
It’s a short week so expect short content, but there were a few things from this game that stood out and I couldn’t pass up on my thoughts about Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass. As this was originally written too early for the All-22 to be out, I’ll ask you to endure this just being […]
Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit Lions Week 3 injury tracker
The Buffalo Bills returned from their little field trip to Houston fairly healthy, but now as they prepare to face the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football’s Week 2 airing, they aren’t going to have much time to heal up what things bumps and bruises they are dealing with. Wednesday’s injury reports gave us game-day designations for the […]
Buffalo Bills should continue to lean into early-down passing
While the NFL analytics community has long pushed passing on first down, it’s certainly not a new methodology birthed out of an algorithm, and if Week 1 is any indication of what’s to come for the Buffalo Bills, they may be returning to those early-down passing roots. Bill Walsh famously championed this counterculture in the […]

5 Buffalo Bills to watch vs. the Detroit Lions
Fresh off a thrilling 36-31 victory over the Houston Texans, the Buffalo Bills have little time to prepare for their 2026 home opener against the Detroit Lions.

Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit Lions: Series history, Josh Allen record
The Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions have both been around for a long time. A really long time. Yet, somehow, Thursday night will be just the 14th regular-season meeting between the two franchises. And, because apparently 13 games spread across more than five decades isn’t weird enough, there’s this: The Bills have scored 274 points in those games. The Lions have scored 273. One point […]
Penalties were a big factor in Buffalo vs. Houston
For those of you new to the site (and I hope there are many of you), here’s the gist; every week I review the penalties from the Bills game. We talk the rules, what was a big deal. What wasn’t. This week will be a bit shortened just like the game week. Standard and Advanced […]

Exploring Detroit Lions tendencies ahead of Week 2’s game against Buffalo Bills
The Lions have a clear identity. On both sides of the ball. That’s been the case for the entirety of the Dan Campbell era, the most successful era in Lions football since the Barry Sanders era in the mid-to-late 1990s. Let’s dive into those clear tendencies before the Buffalo Bills host the Lions on Thursday […]
Bills at Texans Week 1 snap counts: Tight ends take over, defense logs 79 snaps
The Buffalo Bills opened the 2026 season with a thrilling 36-31 win over the Houston Texans, but the final score only tells part of the story.

Buffalo Bills offensive skill positions shined vs. Houston Texans
Let’s start my season of analysis with an apology. First off, the Buffalo Bills are on a short week and everything is very compressed. Second, my youngest plays sports and I was lucky enough to be able to see her play on Monday evening (I will choose supporting my kids every time, but it does […]
Josh Allen earns my Week 1 game ball after leading Bills past Texans
Josh Allen accounted for four touchdowns and delivered when the Bills needed him most The Buffalo Bills did not make their first win of the 2026 season easy. Buffalo’s defense struggled to contain the Houston Texans’ passing attack, the secondary appeared to have a target painted on it for much of the afternoon. Yet, when […]
Josh Allen is not a reckless, YOLO, turnover-prone quarterback
I’ll admit, it feels bizarre to be compelled to write this about Josh Allen in Year 9, especially after a 36-point eruption against that Houston Texans defense in the Buffalo Bills’ Week 1 win. Allen is not an overly reckless, YOLO, sugar-high quarterback bound to put the ball in precarious situations in critical moments of […]
