One of the more heated Detroit Lions roster battles entering the final week of preseason is at a spot where the Lions hope the winner never sees the field. The backup quarterback position is up for grabs behind starter Jared Goff, with David Blough and Tim Boyle dueling for the job.
Both were on the roster behind Goff a year ago, with Boyle serving as the primary backup. The team re-signed both this offseason with hopes that continuity and coaching would help. Neither player has stepped up to seize the job, but each has done just enough to be considered the better option.
