Pitt Stays Perfect, Improves to 3-0 by Grinding Its Way to a 27-13 Win over Sloppy Syracuse
Buffalo is a 4.5-point favorite, and BetMGM lists the total at 54 points after both teams opened 1-0.
- On Thursday, September 17, 2026, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Detroit Lions 41-31 in the first regular-season game at the new Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York.
- Both teams entered 1-0, but Detroit's depleted secondary struggled against Buffalo's explosive offense, which scored six touchdowns on their first seven drives against a defense weakened by injuries.
- Quarterback Josh Allen led the attack while Lions safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph, both on the physically unable to perform list, left Detroit's secondary exposed; the Lions allowed 658 passing yards over two games.
- Lions head coach Dan Campbell said the team needs "two weeks worth of fixes" after being outscored 71-41 since leading 21-0 against New Orleans; Detroit struggled to answer offensively after falling behind early.
- Detroit faces the New York Jets on September 27 with nine days to address mounting injuries and offensive inconsistency; Campbell aims to have offensive linemen Christian Mahogany and Blake Miller healthy for the matchup.
