Detroit: The Lions faced a rough day on Sunday. They lost two cornerbacks during their game against the Buffalo Bills, which ended in a 48-42 defeat. It was a tough break for the team, especially on defense.
Both Carlton Davis III and Khalil Dorsey went down with injuries in the first half. Coach Dan Campbell mentioned that Davis’ injury might even be season-ending, which is a huge blow. Alim McNeill also got hurt, adding to the team’s woes.
Davis had to go through concussion protocol and was evaluated for a jaw injury. He was initially hopeful to return but was later ruled out. Dorsey’s situation looked worse; he was carted off the field after a nasty leg injury. The team gathered around him, showing their support.
With these injuries, the Lions’ defense is really struggling. They already have several players on injured reserve, including Aidan Hutchinson, who broke his leg earlier this season. It’s tough to see so many key players sidelined.
The Bills were leading 21-14 at halftime and managed to hold on for the win. Josh Allen had a great game, throwing for 362 yards and two touchdowns. On the other side, Jared Goff threw for an impressive 494 yards and five touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to secure the victory.
Despite the loss, the Lions are still tied with the Eagles for the best record in the NFC. It’s been a wild season, and fans are hoping for a quick recovery for their injured players.
