Detroit Lions lose preseason finale to the Indianapolis Colts, 27-17: Game thread recap

NFL preseason: Detroit Lions vs. Indianapolis Colts

When: 7 p.m. Friday.

Where: Ford Field.

TV: Fox 2 in Detroit.

Radio: WXYT-FM (97.1; other radio affiliates).

BOX SCORE

Game notes: The Lions will try to start better this time around after falling behind early vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers en route to a 26-20 loss. David Blough threw three touchdowns in the second half, but the tale of the game was the struggles of the Lions' starters. In the first half, the Steelers outgained the Lions 285 yards to 65. If the Lions do play better on offense it will likely be without Jared Goff, who isn't expected to play much Friday. The Lions come into the game 0-2 on the preseason while the Colts are 2-0.
