On Saturday, the Detroit Lions were likely hoping to get some sort of clarity on the offensive position battles. Unfortunately, the team’s offense was at its worst against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The quarterback play was inconsistent, the offensive line clearly wasn’t gelling together, receivers were dropping passes, and the unit just couldn’t find a rhythm.

These days if you turn on your TV or open your phone, chances are you will read or see something related to the Detroit Lions.

It ended as a 25-7 thrashing, with some positives on the defense and very little to love on offense. Here are your game ball candidates for the day:

Game 2 of the preseason was an ugly one as the Detroit Lions were defeated by the Jacksonville Jaguars, 25-7. Although preseason records don’t matter, you still want to see successful situations, players winning matchups, and reserves looking ready to step in if need be. Overall, we didn’t have many of those positives, but there…

The Detroit Lions are in Ford Field for the last time until the regular season begins. On Saturday afternoon, they welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars for each team’s second preseason game. Last year, the Lions handed the Jaguars one of their most humbling losses, but it was Jacksonville who eventually snuck into the playoffs and even…

The Detroit Lions offense didn’t show much of any life against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the team’s second preseason opener. Though the team opted to start newly-added Teddy Bridgewater with the second-team offense out there, the veteran quarterback was held scoreless—and they couldn’t even manage a first down in their first four drives.

In Week 1 of the preseason, following joint practices with the New York Giants, the Detroit Lions rested 28 players, including 21 slated for starting roles. With a second set of joint practices under their belt, this time against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Lions once again appear content on resting several of their top players…

After entering the week fairly healthy—with only three players absent from Wednesday’s practice—the Detroit Lions were a little more beat up on Thursday. It’s worth noting that the second joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars was just in shells—meaning not full pads—so it’s entirely possible that some of the players who missed Thursday’s practice may…

In the preseason opener, the Detroit Lions rested a majority of their starters, including Jared Goff, the entire starting offensive line, the top wideouts, and just about every projected defensive starter short of a few rookies. After a week of joint practices, the team felt there was little need for their top players to risk…
