Positive signalMatchup

St. Brown faces Alford in slot with Bills' nickel defense vulnerable; prior 12-193-1 line vs. Buffalo.

St. Brown is expected to draw heavy matchups against Bills slot corner Dee Alford in Week 2. Alford allowed only 2 receptions for 23 yards on 4 targets in Week 1, but the Bills defense as a whole struggled in nickel (EPA 0.14, 26th best; success rate 53.8%, 28th). St. Brown caught 10 of 14 targets with 2 TDs in Week 1 and previously posted 12 catches, 193 yards, and a TD against Buffalo. Lions coach Dan Campbell emphasized St. Brown's competitiveness: "The ball's in the air; it's his ball. And there's a competitiveness and a willpower that comes with that, and he's going to make that play."
