The Detroit Lions fell to the Buffalo Bills 41-31 on Thursday night in Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season. The game marked Buffalo's first contest in its new stadium and served as the franchise's home opener for the year.
Detroit entered the matchup on a short week, having beaten the New Orleans Saints in overtime during Week 1. The Yahoo Sports column argued that coach Dan Campbell has a track record of helping his roster recover from disappointing results and that a single defeat does not define a season.
For its Week 2 'song of the game' feature, the column selected 'Try Again' by Aaliyah, the late singer known as the Princess of R&B and a Detroit native. The outlet also noted it maintains playlists for past Lions seasons dating from 2016 through 2022.
