Sabres' Guhle gets in his first game of this season with the Sabres Boston, MA (WGR 550) - Two players got to play their first NHL games of the season on Sunday in Boston. Matt Hunwick made his Sabres debut while Brendan was also called up. The Sabres have 11 defenseman up here due to injury and Guhle said he found out during Saturday’s game in Rochester that he was flying to Boston. Guhle said he was told he was coming up in the second intermission and sat on the bench as watched the third period. In his first game in Buffalo Guhle was paired with Hunwick and did give the puck away a few times, but he also got up ice a few times and used his speed like Housley wants him to. People seem to forget that he's only 21-years-old and is not a bust or even close to one. He has plenty of time to reach his potential.

CBS Sports: NFL Week 15 Grades

There were a lot of great performances from the Bills’ defense, but Lorenzo Alexander at linebacker had himself a great game and made multiple big stops. He was all over the place, not just getting tackles in the run game but also affecting it without recording any stats. He was also fantastic in his coverage, as he sniffed out screens and stopped check-downs from going anywhere. The Bills’ defensive line, in general, was dominant all game, but the standout to no surprise was edge rusher Jerry Hughes. He was a consistent presence in the backfield, as he recorded multiple QB pressures even without registering a sack. He was also solid in the run game and a big reason that the Lions’ rushing offense wasn’t effective despite averaging four yards per rush (a majority of those yards came after contact). It was a true breakout game for former Alabama WR Robert Foster, who, while giving hints of his arrival over the last couple games, erupted for over 100 receiving yards, swallowing up four-of-five targets. Foster sealed the victory for the Bills with a 42-yard snag on a post where Lions’ Mike Ford was defenseless to prevent him from reaching the end zone. It would be incorrect to label the Bills’ victory as pretty. The offensive line played a standout role in protecting their quarterback, and rookie first-round QB Josh Allen showcased his arm cannon and plus-speed on several occasions. However, the rushing attack failed to get gain anything significant with both LeSean McCoy and Chris Ivory inactive and Marcus Murphy going down, as well, during the first half. Keith Ford would be supplied with 14 empty carries, but Allen scrambled away from pressure during their opening drive of the second quarter to put Buffalo’s first points on the board. CBS Sports: NFL Week 15 Grades Buffalo 14-13 over Detroit Lions: B- The Lions are probably going to be kicking themselves over the way they lost this game. Detroit played good enough to win, but the Lions special teams ended up choking in two key situations. After Detroit's first touchdown, Matt Prater didn't even get to attempt the extra point due to a botched snap, which cost the Lions a point. Prater also missed a 48-yard field goal. The Lions' ugly special teams performance overshadowed a huge game from Kenny Golladay, who caught seven passes for 146 yards. Bills: B At one point in this game, the Bills were literally down to zero running backs due to injuries, so Josh Allen did something he almost never does: He showed off his arm. In the fourth quarter, Allen threw a 42-yard touchdown to Robert Foster that ended up being the game-winner. Allen only completed 50 percent of his passes against Detroit (13 of 26), but he came through when it mattered. The Bills other touchdown came on a three-yard run by Allen.

Buffalo Bills 14, Detroit Lions 13 1. Josh Allen hit a streaking Robert Foster for a 42-yard touchdown that gave the Buffalo Bills a 14-13 lead early in the fourth quarter, and the Bills would hold on to late to earn their fifth win of the season. Given the expectations for Buffalo entering the season, Sean McDermott should warrant some Coach of the Year consideration. It's not always pretty with Josh Allen, but the strong-armed rookie is making strides each week. With the Lions focusing on not allowing Allen to scramble this week (16 yards on nine carries with a three-yard TD scamper), the No. 7 overall pick was forced to move the ball with his arm. Allen's accuracy remains an issue, especially deep. The Bills could have blown the game open early had the rookie been slightly more accurate on a few deep shots. However, his willingness to fling it deep is refreshing, and he displayed his cannon arm firing the ball into a few tight windows. His numbers were pedestrian -- 13/26, 204 yards, TD -- but Allen continues to display growth getting through his progressions and raising the play of his gaggle of No. 2 and 3 receivers. The development the past few weeks from Allen has been encouraging, and he'll give Bills fans something to watch the last two weeks heading into the offseason. 2. It was all Kenny Golladay in the first half. The rising receiver made a bevy of strong catches down the field. The Lions wideout posterized Bills DBs in the first two quarters, earning four catches for a career-high 115 yards, the most by a Lions receiver in the first half since Calvin Johnson recorded 131 yards in 2014 versus the Giants. Golladay finished with seven catches for 146 yards. As Buffalo quieted the wideout in the second half, the Lions offense went in the tank. Matthew Stafford and the Lions earned 117 yards in the final two quarters on six possessions, including three three-and-outs and a missed go-ahead field-goal attempt. The anemic second half was a fitting way for Detroit to see its team eliminated from the playoffs. Stafford and the offense have struggled to move the ball consistently since trading Golden Tate and Kerryon Johnson suffering an injury. The Lions will need to upgrade the skill position next season and could be looking for a new offensive coordinator if coach Matt Patricia decides to replace offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter. 3. The Bills earned the win despite riding with their fourth-string running back much of the game. With LeSean McCoy and Chris Ivory inactive due to injury, Marcus Murphy got the start but left early with a dislocated elbow. That left rookie Keith Ford as the only running back active. At one point Ford went down with an ankle injury, giving new meaning to a Zero RBs strategy. Ford returned later after getting taped up. The running back situation underscores the need for Buffalo to buffer Allen with playmakers across the offense this offseason. -- Kevin Patra
