The Detroit Lions are riding high after their nail-biting 34-31 win over the Green Bay Packers, improving to an impressive 12-1 on the season. But there’s no time to rest, as they’re gearing up for a heavyweight showdown against Josh Allen and the 10-3 Buffalo Bills this Sunday at Ford Field—a game already being hyped as a potential Super Bowl preview.
Defense could be the key to securing a win, and the Lions got some much-needed good news on that front. Head coach Dan Campbell just shared updates on four crucial defensive linemen who could make a big impact against Buffalo’s high-powered offense:
– Levi Onwuzurike: He’s planning to hit the field Thursday, signaling his return is on track.
– Alim McNeill: Back in action today, meaning he’s officially out of concussion protocol.
– Josh Paschal: He’ll test things out in practice, but Campbell is still cautious about his availability.
-DJ Reader: If he practices Thursday, he’ll be set to make his return as well.
With these reinforcements potentially suiting up, the Lions’ defense will have a better shot at slowing down Allen and the Bills, one of the league’s most dangerous offenses. Sunday’s game promises to be a battle, and Detroit’s defense will need to bring the heat to keep their Super Bowl hopes alive.
