Jake Bates’ late field goal handed the Detroit Lions their 12th win of the season last week and sealed a place in the playoffs. Dan Campbell’s team will welcome the 10-3 Buffalo Bills at Ford Field on Sunday for the week 15 heavyweight showdown.
Josh Allen threw three and rushed for three touchdowns against the Los Angeles Rams in Cali, but it wasn’t enough to save the Bills from suffering a 42-44 loss. The defeat snapped a seven-game winning streak that included victories against both Super Bowl LVIII finalists, the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
Campbell’s Lions, on the other hand, are yet to lose a game since their opening-day defeat to the New York Giants. Quarterback Jared Goff led from the front once again, throwing three touchdowns and 32 completions for 283 yards in a three-score victory over divisional rivals the Green Bay Packers.
Historically, the Bills have dominated the fixture against the Lions. They are unbeaten in the last four meetings, including two visits to Detroit. 2022 was the last time they played each other, which ended in a 28-25 win for the Bills.
Allen threw 2 touchdowns and one interception for 253 yards, while Goff had 240 yards and 2 touchdowns. The last Lions victory in this fixture came back in 2006.
