In the Week 2 edition of "Thursday Night Football," the Buffalo Bills play host to the Detroit Lions in the first-ever game at the new Highmark Stadium. Buffalo is coming off a rollicking win over a fellow AFC contender in the Houston Texans. Josh Allen and Co. put up a spectacular offensive performance against one of the league's best defenses, with Allen throwing for a pair of touchdowns and rushing for a couple more as the Bills came from behind to win 36-31 in Houston.
Detroit similarly played a wild game against the New Orleans Saints, during which the Lions blew a 21-0 lead and had to head to overtime to beat the Saints, who failed on a two-point conversion attempt that would have won them the game. Jahmyr Gibbs had his typical fantastic day with 186 total yards and two touchdowns, but the defense left much to be desired. Which of these two teams will win what is expected to be another high-scoring affair?
We'll find out soon enough. But before we break down some key storylines, here's a look at how you can watch the game. This should be a ridiculously high-scoring game.
Both the Bills and Lions have explosive offenses paired with defenses that could best be described as charitable, which we saw last week. There are matchup advantages all over the field for both teams. I could see all of Allen, James Cook, Moore, Dalton Kincaid, Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St.
Brown and Jameson Williams going off in a potential fireworks show. I lean toward the Bills for the win in the debut of their new stadium, but I like the Lions to keep it close enough that the Bills don't cover the spread.
