Detroit Lions report card, grades: Lines dominate, secondary struggles vs. Colts

The Detroit Lions received plenty of reps against the Indianapolis Colts this week as they traveled there days prior to their Saturday afternoon game for joint practice sessions. As the days progressed, the Lions seemed to improve and it all came together nicely for the actual game as they edged out the Colts 27-26. Let’s see how each unit graded out for the game.

Quarterback: B+

David Blough got the start this week as Tim Boyle waited until the second half to take the reigns. Their receiving options and offensive lines were close to the same, so they had similar circumstances to work with.
