The Detroit Lions fell one field goal short of victory in tonight’s preseason finale against the Buffalo Bills, but the final score of 16-13 is one of the last things on Head Coach Rod Marinelli’s mind.

Much of what this final preseason game is about is players fighting for spots on Detroit’s 53-man regular-season roster.

With cuts two days away, Marinelli and the Lions’ front office will evaluate the men who have worked through training camp and the preseason in the hopes of taking the next step.
