Starters on their way out as first half winds down

After throwing for nearly 200 yards, Matthew Stafford has given way to Shaun Hill as the second team offense has come on the field with the Lions leading Baltimore 14-9 in preseason action.

Their first drive wasn’t very successful for the second unit, but it did have one bright point.

Hill completed a pass to Ryan Broyles, who is seeing his first game action after being on the PUP list to start camp. It was good for eight yards. A tight end screen to Will Heller was dropped on third down, forcing a punt.

Prior to the Lions getting the ball, despite Detroit’s best efforts to give the Ravens yard with more penalties, the drive stalled, forcing a 44-yard field goal try by Billy Cundiff, which was good.
