Aidan Hutchinson didn't hold back on the defensive quality in the Detroit Lions' 41-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night.

Detroit's defense has been struggling to contain opponents, conceding 30 to the New Orleans Saints in Week 1 before giving up 41 to the Bills. Josh Allen and company tore apart the visiting defense, prompting Hutchinson to hint at changes happening to the defense in the near future.

“They got after us today for sure. You know that was not good enough. Not good enough. Things will definitely be changed. I don't know what that is necessarily, but I know there will be change because we're not going to keep banging our head against the wall,” Hutchinson said after the game.

“Us players, we got to do what we got to do and improve. But something's got to change. I don't know what that is. It's hard to look at a game like this right after and diagnose what kind of went on. But yeah, it was not good enough, and it was bad ball out there.
