It was a wild start to today's game as Ty Johnson, former Detroit Lions running back, made his presence felt in a big way. After the Buffalo Bills‘ defense forced the Lions into a quick 3-and-out on the opening drive, Josh Allen and the Bills offense took over and marched straight down the field. The drive culminated in a 1-yard rushing touchdown by Allen, but it was Johnson’s impressive 62 yards on the drive that had everyone talking.
Believe it or not, Johnson’s 62 yards in this opening drive already surpasses his total rushing yards in any game since December of 2022, showing just how motivated he is in this “revenge game” against his former team. For some context, Johnson was selected by the Lions in the 6th round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Over 18 games with Detroit, he accumulated just 273 rushing yards and 109 receiving yards, never quite living up to expectations.
Now, with a chance to shine for the Bills, Johnson seems determined to make the most of this opportunity. Could this be the start of a breakout performance? Stay tuned as the game continues to unfold.
