In a game largely devoid of starters from either side, the Detroit Lions held on for a 27-26 preseason victory in Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday.
The Lions took the lead in the fourth quarter on a fantastic 18-play, 85-yard touchdown drive engineered by a sharp Tim Boyle at quarterback. The Colts answered the touchdown with an 11-play, 72-yard scoring drive of their own, but the 2-point conversion attempt fell to the end zone harmlessly to preserve the Detroit win.
