Lions QB Battle & RB Surge | Detroit Lions News

The Lions’ second preseason game was a QB battle, a running back showdown, and a defensive breakout—all wrapped up in one wild night. Josh Dobbs started with turnovers but dazzled with a 50-yard TD run; Luke Altmyer flashed moments too, but neither locked down the backup QB role. Running backs Trayveon Williams and Jacob Saylors stole the show—Williams out-rushed the entire defense, while Saylors stayed consistent. Receivers had quiet nights, but tight end Jackson Meeks led all receivers with catches and yards, even forcing a fumble. The offensive line showed flashes of cohesion, especially Ratledge and Miller, though Seth McLaughlin’s penalty-filled night raises questions. Defensively, Skyler Gill-Howard and DJ Wonnum dominated the pass rush, Derrick Moore proved his versatility, Devin White’s instincts shone, and D.J. Reed looked sharp at CB despite injury. The final week could decide everything. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
