We're heading to Orchard Park, and the new Highmark Stadium is no place to go quiet — a $2.1 billion build with steep vertical bowls and a 360-degree canopy engineered to trap the crowd noise and reflect it right back down onto the field. This is the kind of atmosphere that tests a team, and Dan Campbell's crew is walking straight into it on Thursday Night Football. The good news is we're coming off a 31-30 overtime thriller over the Saints, and the offense held up beautifully — a pressure rate allowed of just 22 percent, second-lowest in the league in Week 1 per TruMedia and The Athletic. Jared Goff stays clean, and Detroit hums. Keep an eye on rookie sixth-rounder Skyler Gill-Howard, our undersized 6-foot, 280-pound defensive tackle who logged 47 snaps against New Orleans — three tackles, two pressures, one of them setting up an Aidan Hutchinson sack. That's a big-time debut. Buffalo leaned on 13 personnel more than anyone in Week 1, so our front will be earning it.
