If this year has taught Tim Boyle anything, it's that he can play quarterback in the NFL.
“One hundred percent, yes," Boyle said Wednesday. "I can play in this league. I believe that.”
Boyle has had mixed results as the Detroit Lions' fill-in starter for Jared Goff this season.
He is 0-3 with more interceptions (six) than touchdowns (three), but has thrown for 526 yards while completing 65% of his passes and has run the offense well enough to earn praise from Lions coaches.
"The more this young man plays the better he’s going to get," Lions offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn said.
