He didn\u2019t play particularly well in the loss to the Chargers, completing three of six pass attempts for 18 yards and throwing an interception.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">However, Kyle Allen was worse and performed badly enough to get himself demoted.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">Hooker did not take advantage against the Falcons. He completed seven of 10 passes for 38 yards and ran for 27 more, but lost a pair of fumbles.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">That got him benched and Allen actually was able to capitalize. He completed seven of eight passes for 120 yards and threw a couple of touchdown passes.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">Now he appears to be in the driver\u2019s seat of this backup QB competition and that could leave Hooker in a tough spot on the team\u2019s roster bubble.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">While he is only in his third\u00a0NFL\u00a0season, Hooker is 27 years old. If he hasn\u2019t gotten to the level of being a backup QB by the end of this preseason then there isn\u2019t much reason to believe it\u2019s ever going to happen.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">If Hooker\u2019s play doesn\u2019t improve significantly over the next two weeks then Allen is going to end up with the backup QB job and it would surprising for Hooker to make the final roster for the Lions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30340,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
