DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions had no answers for Josh Allen. Now, they’re hoping a banged-up defense can stop anyone else. Detroit’s patchwork defense got even more threadbare in Sunday’s 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills, losing three key contributors to possible season-ending injuries. Defensive tackle Alim McNeill injured his knee, cornerback Carlton Davis III left with a jaw injury and reserve cornerback and key special teams player Khalil Dorsey broke his right leg, which coach Dan Campbell said was similar to Aidan Hutchinson’s injury.
