Sunday was a day to forget for the offense. The didnt find the end zone until a late desperation flip from to , with under a minute to play in the game. The struggles on offense put the defense in tough situations time after time. Though the defense bent and rarely broke, it was ultimately not enough. The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Lions, ****** , Sunday at George Kittle Jersey Acrisure Stadium.Here are the grades for each position group.Quarterbacks: D- The elected to rest starting quarterback , which allowed David Blough and a chance to make their respective cases for the backup job. Neither delivered much in terms of consistency, leaving the Lions wanting more. Boyle was the starter, and sputtered early and often. He produced just three points during his time on the field. A low moment for the ****** year-old was an interception that was thrown directly to cornerback Cameron Sutton. Originally slated to play the entire first half, Boyle was pulled following his second-quarter pick. He returned in the second half, but went just two-for-seven through the air.Blough led a touchdown drive late in the game, and had another stall out on the goal line. However, he was not convincingly better than his counterpart. Finishing ****** for ****** for ****** yards, he offered little in the way of a downfield pa sing attack. Between the two, Blough has been more effective throughout training camp. The Purdue product has mobility and can extend plays, but is turnover prone.With final cuts looming, Dan Campbell must decide whether to take one of the current options or explore the waiver market in search of a new backup. Running backs: B and spent Sunday on the sidelines, allowing Detroits third running back options to showcase their abilities. Overall, had the best day. Jackson finished with ****** all-purpose yards, via receptions, rushes and kick returns. He produced the highlight of Detroits day offensively, by finishing a ****** yard catch-and-run with a hurdle. Craig Reynolds was noticeably absent from the contest for the first three quarters, but came alive in the fourth. He notched ****** yards on six carries. Jermar Jefferson reeled off a ****** yard run on a third-and-long draw play, but finished with just ****** rushing yards on six total attempts. Godwin Igwebuike, meanwhile, Y.A. Tittle Jersey had a ****** yard catch. Wide receivers: C-Struggles at the quarterback position limited production out wide on Sunday. Amon-Ra St. Brown had three catches on five targets, one of which was a dropped screen pa s. Josh Reynolds hauled in a ****** yard pa s, and received three targets. Elsewhere, preseason hero Tom Kennedy had ****** yards on three catches, while had ****** yards on three, as well. Pimpleton hurt his cause with a pair of Ahkello Witherspoon Jersey drops, including one in the end zone on fourth-and-goal. made his first catch of the preseason, when he dove to haul in Bloughs desperate to s for a score. Its hard to place blame on the unit when play from the signal-caller is so inaccurate, but the receivers had several drops. Tight ends: B- hauled in Boyles first completion, and had ****** yards. The Iowa product also had a nice downfield block on Jeffersons third-down sprint. Brock Wright also had a solid day in the run game. Elsewhere, James Mitchell saw action, and Devin Funche s had a catch in his return from injury. was targeted three times, but failed to record a catch. It appears Hockenson and Wright are set as the teams top two options. With fullback Jason Cabinda on the Physically Unable to Participate list, the Lions may have to carry more than one extra tight end for production in the run game. Offensive line: CThe Lions trotted out the starting offensive line for some of the first half, allowing the unit time together to jell. The results were mixed, as was beaten by All-Pro linebacker T.J. Watt for a tackle for lo s on the first series. Meanwhile, Taylor Decker committed two penalties. The performance wasnt much better for the second unit, either. Blough was often scrambling away from defenders in the backfield, and twice had to make throws while falling to the turf. As a unit, the O-line was adequate in the run game. Protecting against the Steelers talented line in pa s protection was Garrett Celek Jersey a different story. Defensive line: BThe defensive line appears to have some clarity as to who will be suiting up in the regular season opener. has been good enough to make the team, and undrafted rookie Demetrius Taylor has made a solid case, as well. Austin Bryant had another excellent performance. He notched a tackle for lo s, and blocked a field goal.Presumed starting EDGE rushers Aidan Hutchinson and Charles Harris teamed up for an early sack on third down, an indication of what may be to come as part of a "NASCAR" rush package. The Lions allowed just ****** total rushing yards, and sacked starter Mitchell Trubisky twice. The unit couldnt get to the more mobile Kenny Pickett in the second half, however, as his quick release on slot fades hurt the defense as a whole. Linebackers: B-While good against the run, the struggled in the pa sing game. The linebackers were beaten by tight ends over the middle. Pat Freiermuth hauled in a ****** yard to s against Derrick Barnes. Alex Anzalone notched a pa s breakup in his first action of the preseason, nearly securing an interception. Josh Woods led the unit in tackles with three and also broke up a pa s attempt. Chris Board nearly got to Trubisky in the first quarter before a low block from a running back derailed his efforts. Secondary: DThe have struggled all preseason long against the pa s. Sunday was no different, as Trubisky and Pickett picked apart the deep parts of the field. Starting corner was beaten for a long gain by Diontae Johnson in the first quarter. entered in the second quarter and was flagged for pa s interference.In addition to a mi sed tackle, Smith was also beaten on a to s from Trubisky to George Pickens.
