The Detroit Lions faced a tough loss against the Buffalo Bills, resulting in significant injuries to key players. Coach Dan Campbell emphasized that no one will excuse their record despite the setbacks.

Running back David Montgomery and defensive tackle Alim McNeill will undergo season-ending surgeries, joining cornerback Carlton Davis III, who suffered a jaw injury. The Lions have placed 18 players on injured reserve, impacting their defensive lineup severely.

Despite these challenges, the Lions had previously achieved an impressive 11-game winning streak. Campbell remains optimistic, suggesting that this adversity could ultimately benefit the team as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Chicago Bears.
