For all intents and purposes, the battle to be the Detroit Lions' No. 2 quarterback ended during the second-to-last preseason game. Kyle Allen played well again, while Hendon Hooker mostly struggled again. Head coach Dan Campbell said it too.
"Yeah, I mean, he’s playing better, he’s playing better", Campbell said. "So I would say that right now, if you’re saying – if you had to go in with the (no.) two right now, ‘Who would you trust more?’ Yeah, I would trust Kyle more because he’s proven more after these two games. But I’m still – we’re still going to coach (Hendon) Hooker up.
