Lions Have a Lot of Things to Fix After Two Tough Games in Four Days

On Thursday, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Detroit Lions 41-31 at Highmark Stadium, racing to a 21-0 lead with touchdowns on their first four possessions.
Detroit Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell saw his defense allow at least 30 points in consecutive games for the first time in his tenure, while Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen accounted for five total touchdowns.
Blaming penalties for the 27-10 halftime deficit, Campbell told Amazon Prime sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung, "the little s--- is killing us" after Detroit committed seven penalties totaling 36 yards in the first half.
Linebacker Jack Campbell took accountability for the defensive effort, while edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson admitted the team was "not good enough" and expressed certainty that "Things will definitely be changed."
Detroit looks to regroup for their Week 3 matchup against the New York Jets on September 27, with Campbell expressing optimism about using the extra three days after Thursday's game to prepare.
