On Thanksgiving Thursday, the Bills beat the Lions in a tough match to get their 8th win of the season. Despite the win, there is a dark cloud floating over the head of the Bills, as outside linebacker Von Miller suffered a knee injury in that game.

Before half-time, the Bills linebacker rushed the Lions’ QB, Jared Goff, and bent his right knee pretty badly. Then, the medical staff of the Bills checked him on the sidelines before they carted him off to the locker room.
