  "account": "Indianapolis (AP) — In the Detroit Lions’ preseason finale, Josh Dobbs and Luke Altmyer were vying for the starting quarterback position behind Jared Goff. Dobbs demonstrated his strengths by completing two touchdown passes and orchestrating a crucial late touchdown drive, leading Detroit to a 25-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Lions coach Dan Campbell acknowledged Dobbs’ performance, praising his composure and conviction, but refrained from announcing a decision on the backup quarterback role. Jared Goff, who did not throw a pass in Detroit’s three preseason games, allowed Dobbs and Altmyer to compete for the secondary position.",
