The preseason finale for the Detroit Lions sees the Indianapolis Colts make the trip up north in what looks to be a battle of the backups.
Neither team is expected to play any significant starters on either side of the ball in the final exhibition game. This game will be more about the reserves and players competing for roster spots on both squads. The Colts are 2-0 in the preseason, while the Lions are 0-2.
