Buffalo Bills vs Detroit Lions game tonight: final score, schedule

by Leave a Comment

The Detroit Lions and the Buffalo Bills headed into their final game on the NFL 2014 preseason schedule tonight with unanswered questions, and only one team got answers. The Lions believe they’re set at quarterback with Matthew Stafford, but he had a subpar game last week and didn’t play tonight. The Bills have deeper issues at the position, as unproven second year quarterback EJ Manuel had a tough game last week as well, and his new backup looked even worse. The final score wasn’t even close.

Buffalo signed Jordan Palmer this week to be a steady veteran backup quarterback presence behind the young Manuel, but Palmer failed to make a contribution on the field. He went 9 of 22 tonight with no touchdown scores and three interceptions, calling into question whether he’ll even make the Bills roster. Kellen Moore had a strong game for Detroit, going 17 of 28 with a pair of touchdown scores and no picks on the night.

The Detroit Lions were the winner over the Buffalo Bills in tonight’s game by a shutout final score of 23-0. The next game on the schedule for the Lions is next Monday night at home against the New York Giants, while the next game on the Bills schedule is at the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Detroit Lions game: score, schedule, winner

The Detroit Lions and the Jacksonville Jaguars went into tonight’s NFL preseason schedule football game with one team all set at quarterback and the other team still trying to convince the world it doesn’t have a quarterback controversy. Neither team got the answers it was looking for, in a close game whose score was decided by just one point.

Jacksonville drafted Blake Bortles early in the first round of the draft, and he’s their quarterback of the future. But the team’s plan to sit him this season in favor of journeyman Chad Henne has fallen under increased scrutiny as Bortles has looked NFL-ready in his exhibition action thus far. Bortles looked sharp tonight, completing 10 of 16 passes and a touchdown score, while Henne looked mediocre, placing more pressure on the Jags to reevaluate their plan. Matthew Stafford had a subpar game for Detroit, suggesting that he may not yet be in regular season form.

The Detroit Lions were the winner over the Jacksonville Jaguars tonight by a final score of 13-12. The next game on the Detroit schedule is Thursday night at the Buffalo Bills, while the next game on the Jaguars schedule is Thursday night at home against the Atlanta Falcons.

Oakland Raiders vs Detroit Lions game tonight football time TV schedule

by Leave a Comment

The Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions square off tonight in their second preseason NFL football game on the 2014 schedule, with one team hoping to see more out of its entrenched franchise quarterback, and the other team trying to make heads or tails of a three ring circus. The game has a late start time for east coasters, and will air on local TV channels in certain markets as well as live online.

Detroit saw little action out of quarterback Matthew Stafford in game one, attempting only four passes for the Lions before giving way to the backups. He and his fellow starters should get more action in tonight’s game. Oakland traded for Matt Schaub from Houston to be their answer at quarterback, but still has Matt McGloin on the roster, and he had the better performance of the two for the Raiders in week one against Cleveland. The uncertainty on the field comes as the Raiders are unsure where they’ll even play next season, with San Antonio and Los Angeles possibilities. But tonight will be all about solving the personnel issues.

Tonight’s Oakland Raiders v Detroit Lions NFL preseason football game has a start time schedule of 7:00pm local Bay Area time, 10:00pm eastern time, and will air on local TV channels in the Michigan and California markets. The game won’t be broadcast on national television, but the NFL is airing it live online via its official website for a subscription fee.

The Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions faced off tonight in their first NFL preseason football game on the schedule, with one team firmly entrenched at the quarterback position while the other team tried to keep its quarterback battle from becoming a circus. The Lions continue this season with the tandem of Matthew Stafford and “Megatron” Calvin Johnson, while the Browns attempt to decide whether Bryan Hoyer or rookie Johnny Manziel will be their starter. Final score and upcoming schedule below.

Hoyer and Johnny Manziel both played fairly well for Cleveland, but neither was able to produce significant points for the Browns. Detroit couldn’t put much on the board either tonight, and in the end the score was decided by a single point.
