Lions vs Steelers Preseason Preview
Detroit fell in its first preseason game against the Buffalo Bills, 16-15. New Lions quarterback Jared Goff went 7-9 for 56 yards, and backups Tim Boyle and David Blough saw action, as well. Boyle finished the game going 8-15 for 38 yards, while Blough fared better, going 5-6 for 76 yards.
It was a close game that went down to the wire, and Lions head coach Dan Campbell says his team is going to have a more detailed game plan in Game 2 of the preseason. “We’ll game plan more than we did vs. Buffalo,” Campbell said about facing the Steelers. “It won’t be a full-out game plan, but they’ll have enough in their toolbox to go work. Then, certainly, when we get ready for the Colts next week, there will be a little bit more than there was this week.”
The Lions head coach also revealed that he’s not sure Goff and several other key veterans are going to suit up for this matchup against the Steelers. “I’m starting to think about now maybe sitting a few of these guys, a select few veterans is kind of what I’m thinking right now. I’m not there yet,” Campbell told the Detroit Free Press.
On the other side, the Steelers are coming off a 24-16 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on August 12. Backup Dwayne Haskins had a great game, going 16-22 for 161 yards and a touchdown. Mason Rudolph and Joshua Dobbs also got reps, with Rudolph going 8-9 for 77 yards and Dobbs completing 5 of 6 passes for 31 yards and an interception.
Ben Roethlisberger will get the nod to start in this one, though, with Haskins or Rudolph relieving him after that. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin confirmed Roethlisberger will see action this week, but he was coy about how much.
“We’ll play it by ear,” Tomlin said about his starting QB. “We have a plan, but we’re also willing do adjust that plan based on what it is that we see in stadium.”
When he was asked if he was also going to try to get Haskins some work in with the first team, the Steelers head coach noted it wasn’t atop his list of priorities. “Not in this particular instance,” Tomlin said. “The emphasis for this outing as it pertains to the quarterback position is getting Ben his first in-stadium exposure of the season and we’ll go from there.”
