The Detroit Lions have lots of different positional battles going on throughout training camp, and “Hard Knocks” has given us a look into the competitions at running back and linebacker so far. What they haven’t shown us—and what I anticipate will be a big part of the third episode—is the kicking competition.
Bold prediction of the week: Lions kicker competition is decided against the Colts
Last week we saw Austin Seibert and Riley Patterson go a combined three-for-three on field goals against the Falcons. Seibert nailed a 46-yard attempt, while Patterson countered with makes from 27 and 28 yards.
