The Buffalo Bills beat the Detroit Lions 48–42 in Week 15 and became the second team to defeat the Lions this season. Detroit punted on their first two possessions while the Bills scored touchdowns and spent the entire game trying to catch up as Josh Allen's offensive unit only settled for one punt.
With an injury-plagued defense that was unable to get any stops, coach Dan Campbell opted for an onside kick with 12 minutes remaining in the game that resulted in a 38-yard Mack Hollins return that set up a one-play scoring drive for Buffalo. Because of the result, Campbell was widely second-guessed and he answered for it in his postgame press conference.
