James Cook passes Joe Cribbs on Buffalo Bills’ all-time rushing list

James Cook just keeps climbing. The Buffalo Bills running back entered Thursday night’s game against the Detroit Lions needing 130 rushing yards to pass Joe Cribbs and move into fifth place on the franchise’s all-time rushing list.  He got there in the fourth quarter. Cook’s 22-yard run that set up his one-yard touchdown rush a play later pushed him past Cribbs’ 4,445 career rushing yards in a Bills uniform […]

Joe Brady makes Buffalo Bills HC history with franchise’s first 2-0 start

Joe Brady has only been the head coach of the Buffalo Bills for two games, but apparently that was long enough to make a little franchise history.  With Buffalo’s 41-31 win over the Detroit Lions on Thursday night, Brady became the first head coach in Bills history to begin his Buffalo career 2-0. And there have been plenty of chances.  […]

Bills vs Lions: Ed Oliver a surprise inactive alongside Ty Johnson

The Buffalo Bills open their brand-new stadium for real tonight, taking on the Detroit Lions in what should be an entertaining contest.

The Buffalo Bills have elevated two players from their practice squad ahead of tonight’s matchup with the Detroit Lions.

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 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 […]
