Lions and Bills meet in matchup of odds-on Super Bowl favorite and a top contender

Associated Press  

DETROIT — The NFC-leading Detroit Lions are playing the AFC East-leading Buffalo Bills in a marquee, late-season matchup that might be a Super Bowl preview. “There’s no place you’d rather be than playing this type of football, this type of team, in December,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said. “You saw a team that’s fighting for their lives to try to make the playoffs in the Los Angeles Rams and they came out ready to play,” Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen said. “Means your team’s in a position to make the playoffs and give yourselves the chance to win the Super Bowl,” said Allen, who last week became the league’s first player to throw three touchdown passes and score three times rushing in a regular-season game. “It’s all a good reminder for us of how competitive this dang league is week to week,” Buffalo coach Sean McDermott said.
