Isaac TeSlaa, Kyle Allen lone bright spots in Lions preseason finale loss to Houston

The Detroit Lions’ preseason finale against the Houston Texans this past Saturday afternoon inside Ford Field didn’t go exactly as planned, especially for the guys that were fighting for a spot on the 53-man roster, as the visitors dictated the pace of play from the opening kickoff and came away with a comfortable road victory.

With the loss, the Lions finished the exhibition slate with a 1-3 record.

The two bright spots in the loss were quarterback Kyle Allen, who went five-for-five passing for 66 yards and a touchdown, and wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa, who capped off the preseason with a pair of catches for 41 yards and this touchdown catch early in the game.

The Lions open up the 2025 regular season in two weeks up at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, September 7th at 4:25 pm.
