Josh Allen. Dawson Knox. 21-0 Bills 👀 DETvsBUF – on Prime Video Stream on @NFLPlus https://t.co/qzAZFWRp5G

What happened: Allen and Knox were central to Buffalo's scoring push in a game that remains in progress. Jake Bates is listed with 1 point for Detroit.

Why it matters: Josh Allen and the Bills have forced Detroit to play from behind the rest of the way. That margin raises the cost of every empty Lions possession from here.

By the numbers: Tyler Bass has the game-high with 3 points, while Jake Bates has 1.

What to watch: Watch whether Detroit can turn its next possessions into points. Buffalo can stretch the lead further if Allen keeps connecting with Knox.
