Sports: Lions Win 31-0; Tigers head to Kansas City
The Lions won their final preseason game 31-0 over Buffalo last night at Ford Field. Dwayne Washington likely secured a spot on Detroit's season-opening roster with a 58-yard touchdown run. Washington, a seventh-round pick from Washington, used a burst of speed to get around the left side and up the sideline on the third snap of the game. He had a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and scored on a run earlier in the preseason, leading to the Lions cutting Stevan Ridley last week. Like a vast majority of starters on both sides, Washington watched much of the game after he ran for 68 yards on seven carries. Jake Rudock boosted his chances with three touchdown passes. He drove Detroit down the field late in the third quarter, converting third downs with his arms and leg, and scrambled to buy time on a 10-yard TD pass to Jace Billingsley, who snagged the ball with his left hand. The Lions start the regular season on September 11th.
