After 63-yard field goal make, Austin Seibert holding early edge in Lions' kicker battle

Allen Park — It might be one of training camp's most under-the-radar competitions, but no one should take for granted how important it is for the Detroit Lions to find the right kicker.

The franchise need to look no further than the dark days between the retirement of Jason Hanson and the addition of the equally gifted Matt Prater as a reminder of what it's like to not have a reliable option at the position.

The good news is the Lions seemingly have two solid options in camp, and a pretty good idea of what they can do.
