Colts Final Preseason Tune-Up | Detroit Lions News

The Colts, despite a 0-1 preseason record, are favored to beat the Lions in their final tune-up game — and they’re playing with purpose. Head coach Shane Steichen plans to give starters limited but meaningful snaps to fine-tune their game plan before Week 1, while Detroit’s Dan Campbell sits his starters to evaluate depth, especially on the lines. Indianapolis is also using the game to test backup QB options and wide receiver depth, after struggling mightily on third downs. Meanwhile, Detroit’s Joshua Dobbs and rookie Luke Altmyer battle for the backup QB role, with both expected to get heavy reps. It’s not about winning — it’s about clarity, decisions, and getting ready for real football. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
