The Buffalo Bills have their biggest and toughest opponent of the year coming up this week, the Detroit Lions. This could be a potential Super Bowl preview as both the Lions and Bills are true championship contenders. The biggest difference between these two teams is that the Lions have the better overall roster, but the Bills have the better quarterback and it’s not even close.

However, the Lions are the hottest team in the NFL, having won 11 consecutive games while the Bills are coming off a heartbreaker loss against the Rams. The Bills were humbled by the Rams and for them to experience this feeling going into Lions week couldn’t have come at a better time.

While the Lions are riding all high and mighty, the Bills now have to find a way to bounce back from their Week 14 loss and remain in the No. 1 seed race for the AFC. It’s going to be an electric game no matter what and had it not been for a high-scoring affair between the Bills and Rams, this would be the potential game of the year.

Going into this Sunday’s matchup, we had the chance to catch up with Brad Berreman, Site Expert for SideLion Report and we gained some insights about the Lions from Berreman.

Bills vs. Lions Week 15 insights

1.) In a battle of two lethal offenses, what will the Detroit Lions need to lean on more to light up the scoreboard?

I think the Lions will lean on the run game, which is their identity offensively, which would also serve to keep the Bills offense off the field. That said, if the Bills are scoring like they can, Jared Goff has to be capable of airing it out more than usual.

2.) Josh Allen is playing like the MVP of the league right now. Who on the Lions’ defense must step up big time to keep Allen contained as much as possible?

I feel like a linebacker is the answer here, and the Lions are very injury-depleted there right now. So one guy stands out-Jack Campbell, who is having an excellent second season.

3.) Detroit has always been aggressive on 4th down situations and there’s no reason why that will change this Sunday. Do you believe Dan Campbell needs to cool it down with theaggressiveness?

4th down aggressiveness is part of who Dan Campbell is as a coach, rooted in the belief he has in his players. I think there are times it goes too far (see the failed 4th down in their own territory against the Packers last week) but in general I like the aggressiveness.

4.) What is weakness that Detroit has that the Bills could potentially attack?

I think an injury-riddled defensive front-seven (pending getting some people back this week?) is a general thing the Bills can attack. If Josh Allen has time to throw…..
