The Detroit Lions fell 34-7 to the Los Angeles Chargers in the NFL Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, to kick off the 2025 NFL season. While it's only preseason, Lions fans have expressed their concern over the blowout loss and the performance of backup quarterback Kyle Allen.

In his Lions debut, Allen threw for 91 yards and two interceptions on 9 of 14 passing. The Lions picked up Allen this offseason after a season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Throughout his seven-year NFL career, Allen has been a valuable backup for various teams, including the Washington Commanders, Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, and Carolina Panthers.
