What started out looking like a blowout turned out to be another barn-burner for the Lions as they yet again gave up a huge lead. In the 1st quarter the Lions jumped out to a 10-0 lead after the hometown fans finally got to see Megatron score a touchdown in the preseason. Detroit would go into the break leading 24-3.

In the second half Vince Young brought the Bills back scoring 24 unanswered points to give Buffalo a 27-24 lead with a little over 3 minutes remaining. Rookie QB Kellen Moore showed why the Lions elected to hold on to the 3rd stringer as he led Detroit down the field connecting with Tyler Toliver on a 29 yard scoring strike to give the Lions a 31-27 victory. Detroit finishes the preseason at 3-1 as they enter the regular season. The Lions will open up at home against St. Louis next Sunday.
