Allen Park — In a competition that's gone back and forth throughout the offseason, the Detroit Lions' backup quarterback battle heads into the final week before roster cuts, still lacking clarity.
"I think it’s neck-and-neck," coach Dan Campbell said.
David Blough, who served as the team's third-string option a year ago, got the start in the team's second preseason game on Saturday. Playing the entire first half, he led three lengthy scoring drives, capping his day with a touchdown pass to wide receiver Tom Kennedy as time expired in the second quarter.
Conversely, Blough threw a pass to Kennedy into tight coverage that was intercepted and translated into Colts points.
