Indianapolis — In a battle of backups, the Detroit Lions defeated the Indianapolis Colts, 27-26, in preseason action at Lucas Oil Stadium Saturday afternoon.
With the majority of the starters held out after the two teams conducted a pair of joint practices this week, David Blough drew the start at quarterback for the Lions. Operating a balanced, but conservative game plan, Blough completed 16 of his 22 throws, mustering just 76 yards to go with one touchdown and one interception.
The second-quarter interception came when Blough attempted to force a third-down throw to Tom Kennedy across the middle.
