Unlike the jaguars, the lions don't have proportionally short fangs, they also used it to pierce against the big preys.

The lions with longer fangs also require less effort to kill the big preys. For example, Cecil has applied an instant killing bite against the elephant calf, while his blood brother Jericho was merely assisting him to pin the calf on the ground.

The lion with longer fangs would also use the same tactic as tiger, just to finish off the prey as quick as possible, not spending too much time to chew off the back and spine.

yeah it's true, but to strangle a cape buffalo bull seems impossible without wearing the animal out by chewing on the spine and back. and also often the lions needs to injure the buffalo because the heard will come back to defend the attacked buffalo. and the hunt for buffalo can take hour's so the lions will often just injure the animal so badly it can't keep up and at the end falls victim for the hungry cats. 

look at this bull in this video that I saw yesterday, this is gotta be the most impressive neck I have ever seen on a wild bovine I'm shocked! 
the massive bull appears at 00:30
