Week 3 preseason takeaways: Browns might have the defensive muscle to match their offense (Matthew Stafford looked sharp in what probably will be his lone appearance this preseason (12-19-0-137, 1 TD), but any relief over how he played is overshadowed by what the Lions might have lost. Middle linebacker Jarrad Davis was carted off the field with what appeared to be a right foot/ankle injury and will have an MRI on Saturday, according to a source. Center Frank Ragnow appeared to injure his right knee and went straight to the locker room. The pair of former first-round picks were the anchors of the team's linebacking corps and offensive line -- two of the shakier groups Detroit has. If either one misses significant time, it could cause problems for the entire unit because of their individual roles. Detroit will have to adjust -- and fast -- if either injury ends up being one that keep the players out to start the regular season. -- Michael Rothstein): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27438687/nfl-preseason-week-3-takeaways-browns-defensive-muscle-match-their-offense

PFF ReFocused, NFL Preseason Week 3: Buffalo Bills 24, Detroit Lions 20: https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-refocused-nfl-preseason-week-3-buffalo-bills-24-detroit-lions-20
What we learned from Friday's preseason games (Lions-Bills: 4. Matthew Stafford saw his first action of the preseason Thursday evening, leading five drives and playing into the second quarter. The Lions signal-caller looked most comfortable when targeting his newest additions: Jesse James, T.J. Hockenson, Danny Amendola and Ty Johnson. Stafford took joy in testing the offseason acquisitions, completing eight passes to the quartet, including three to Hockenson. The first-round tight end's highly touted summer continued Thursday night, as he found openings in Buffalo's defense to rumble for 52 receiving yards and extend Detroit's lone touchdown drive. A breakout back this summer, Johnson was the recipient of Stafford's TD pass, a smooth 11-yard shot out of the backfield. The QB's chemistry with the Detroit newcomers should calm concerns (for an evening) that the Lions are bound for a setback in Matt Patricia's second season in charge. Lookin' at you, Baldy! 5. Continuing the trend started on Thursday night, this contest was marred by injuries. Whereas Hockenson thrived and left Ford Field with a clean bill of health, Detroit's first-round picks from the two years prior fell victim to the contagious injury bug. Lions starting linebacker Jarrad Davis left with an ankle injury on his first drive and is bound for the MRI machine. Detroit's first-string center, Frank Ragnow, suffered the same fate in the second frame. Buffalo didn't emerge unscathed either. Bills guard Quinton Spain hit the showers early with an ankle injury and star cornerback Tre'Davious White was ruled out with a quad contusion. Even Frank Gore went down briefly following a late hit out of bounds by Lions safety Tracy Walker, though the everlasting tailback returned to the game shortly after. When we said "break a leg" before the preseason Week 3 dress rehearsal, we didn't mean literally, guys... 6. One week after building a mind-meld with Cole Beasley, Josh Allen didn't get into quite the same rhythm in Detroit. In six drives, the second-year gunslinger showcased his best and worst tendencies, completing just three passes on six attempts for 49 yards. One first-quarter play Thursday night was a pure distillation of the J. Allen Experience. On a second-and-short from Buffalo's 25, Allen escaped pressure out to his right, moving with confidence in and out of the pocket per usual. But the QB then inexplicably threw back across his body into the middle of the field when Jalen Reeves-Maybin was waiting. A pick right out of his rookie tape...that is if he wasn't bailed out by a questionable roughing the passer call. The drive resulted in an Isaiah McKenzie jet sweep TD, so all was forgiven in the end, but Allen's sloppy play is indicative of a young QB who is still experiencing growing pains. -- Jeremy Bergman): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001043881/article/what-we-learned-from-fridays-preseason-games
