David Blough, Tim Boyle still jockeying for position in Lions backup QB battle

Indianapolis — With Week 2 of the Detroit Lions' preseason slate in the books, we're a little bit closer to meaningful football.

But after a week of joint practices and Detroit's 27-26 win over the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday, one thing we're not much closer to is getting a read on where David Blough and Tim Boyle stand in a battle to become the team's backup quarterback.

Blough played the first half Saturday and Boyle the second. Both managed the game well and led five possessions. Blough tied the game at 13 with a 12-play, 54-yard touchdown drive before halftime and Boyle carried the team to the winning touchdown with an 18-play, 85-yard drive in the fourth quarter.
