DETROIT -- In the competition to see who will emerge as the backup to Detroit Lions starting quarterback Jared Goff, veteran Kyle Allen took another step forward with his performance.

Following the Lions’ 24-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins, coach Dan Campbell shared his perspective on where things stand in the QB2 battle between Allen and third-year player Hendon Hooker, giving the edge to the former.

“Pretty confident,” Campbell said about moving forward with Allen. “Here we go. This is the second week in a row in a competitive setting here that he’s moved the football for us and made critical throws in critical times. I thought the two-minute drill at the end was awesome right before half. He’s got really good command of the offense. He communicates very clearly. He doesn’t get frazzled.
