So much for defense another nfl flaw

The highest combined score coming into today was last week's Bills/Rams game. That combined score was eclipsed by today's Bills/Lions game.

I'm really hoping to see a Bills/Lions Superbowl in a few months, and for Josh Allen to finally receive the NFL MVP award that he deserves for this season's performance.....

Over 1,000 yards of total offense between the two teams, and interesting until the end.....

Yes, thank you Bills. My Vikes can get the #1 seed in the NFC if they win the rest of their games. But having to play Green Bay and Detroit to finish the regular season is going to be tough.

Josh Allan is well deserving of the mvp and I’d love to see them win it. I feel awful for a lions half the teams hurt. Now hoping for Vikings vs bills two great fanbases

I am still pulling for a Bills vs. Lions Superbowl matchup. The two teams and cities have a sorta weird football symmetry, the Lions never having a Superbowl appearance and the Bills never having won despite four consecutive appearances.

The owners back in the day had a friendship, with Bills founder/owner Ralph Wilson being a Detroit resident when he "threw away his money" on the AFL Buffalo Bills franchise. The Lions and Bills always seemed to play a game in the pre-season, and Detroit graciously offered their dome to the Bills to play an emergency "home" game a few years ago when Buffalo was buried under more snow than usual and the roads were closed for days.....

As a diehard Eagles fan, I'm hoping for an Eagles/Bills Superbowl, but it is nice having teams at the top that you don't completely hate. The Bills are my 2nd favorite team. I can like and respect the Lions fans for their similar levels of sports hardship to Philly and would support them if they knock off the Eagles in the NFC Championship. Even Minnesota has nothing that makes you actively root against them the way you do the Cowboys, 49ers, Giants, etc.

Is it bad that I get almost as much joy watching the cowboys, 9ers and giants collapse this season as I do watching the birds tear up Pittsburgh, Baltimore and the Rams?

I would also be fine with Eagles/Bills, since Buffalo met everyone in the NFC East in the Superbowl...except Philly. Might as well collect the whole set.....
