Ron Brooks recorded the Bills' lone touchdown on the evening, intercepting a deflected first-quarter pass and returning it for a touchdown. It was all downhill from there, as the Lions outscored the Bills 17-3 from that point. These were the notes that I took on the team - which played exclusively backups and bubble players tonight - throughout the course of the game.
- Andre Davis offside on opening kickoff
- Davis makes great catch on tipped pass
- Muffed snap on 4th & 2 - Kraig Urbik or Matt Simms?
- A.J. Tarpley blows up a pitch on 3rd & short
- Mario Butler illegally covers long snapper, giving DET first down
- NZI on Stefan Charles; - 3rd & 10 becomes 3rd & 5
- Great hit by Merrill Noel to cause Brooks pick-six
- Ugly DPI on Brooks on next series
- Great open-field tackle by Bacarri Rambo
- Bad deep ball tracking by Davis with space (ball under thrown)
- Simms takes a huge hit, converts 3rd & 8 to Marcus Thigpen
- Iffy holding call on Nick O'Leary
- Second muffed snap (lost) - Urbik snapped without the ball
- Alex Carrington, Charles, Andre Fluellen having their way with DET backup OL
- Butler burned badly on 65-yard slant TD
- Darryl Johnson beaten badly to give up a sack
- Nice catch in traffic by Dezmin Lewis to convert third down
- Quentin Groves dinged after making massive KR hit
- Tarpley blows up a screen
- Solid PBU in space by Tarpley
- William Campbell (RT) holding on extended pass play
- Dan Carpenter hits upright (39-yard attempt)
- Groves gives up edge on lengthy Zach Zenner run
- Brooks blows up a WR screen
- Cyrus Kouandjio (LT) false starts turns 3rd & 9 into 3rd & 14
- Simms makes one of the most boneheaded plays in NFL QB history
- Another five-plus-yard run right at Groves
- Excellent read by Butler on quick hitch to WR for loss
- IK Enemkpali offside negates fourth-down stop in red zone
- Another Enemkpali offside negates third down stop
And with that, the preseason is over. Next up: roster cuts, which need to be made by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday. Until then, what did you think of the Bills overall this preseason?
