Lions Lose 48-42 to Bills, Ending Streak

The Detroit Lions, currently holding a 12-2 record, suffered a 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills, ending their 11-game winning streak. This defeat was compounded by injuries to key players such as David Montgomery and Alim McNeill, who are expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Quarterback Jared Goff had a historic performance, throwing for 494 yards and five touchdowns, yet acknowledged the team's sluggish start contributed to the loss. Coach Dan Campbell faced criticism for a questionable onside kick decision that allowed the Bills to capitalize and score. Despite the setback, Goff remains optimistic, viewing the loss as a potential wake-up call and learning opportunity for the playoffs. The Lions still control their destiny for home-field advantage with upcoming games against the Bears and 49ers.
