Buffalo's new Highmark Stadium got its christening Thursday night, and the Bills made sure nobody left disappointed. A forty-one to thirty-one win over Detroit felt more like a statement than a scoreline — fireworks opened the show, and Josh Allen and company kept the energy at full volume all night long.
The Lions, though, are walking away with more than just a loss. Safety Avonte Maddox left on crutches after suffering a left foot injury in the first half, and Dan Campbell admitted he's nervous about the extent of it. Detroit has now surrendered thirty and forty-one points in back-to-back weeks, and the defensive alarm bells are getting louder by the day.
Shifting gears to the hardwood, Jackie Young is carrying serious momentum out of the FIBA World Cup in Berlin. The Las Vegas Aces guard put together the best performance of her career against the Seattle Storm, proving she was arguably the standout player for Team USA in Berlin — even if she didn't always get the headlines to match.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
