Comfort level: Quarterback Hendon Hooker looked much more poised in his second NFL game Saturday, helping Detroit to a 24-23 win over Kansas City. He completed 12-of-15 passes for 150 yards for a 108.3 passer rating and also rushed for a 7-yard touchdown. He had a turnover on a fumble late that almost cost the Lions, but they overcame it and he really looked comfortable as he continues to battle Nate Sudfeld (14-of-27 for 196 & TD) for the backup quarterback job behind Jared Goff.

O-line backups: As we get down to the final couple weeks before roster cuts, the depth along the offensive line is starting to come into a bit more focus. Getting the start upfront Saturday with the first-team o-line having the afternoon off were Dan Skipper (LT), Kayode Awosika (LG), Kingsley Eguakun (C), Michael Niese (RG) and Colby Sorsdal (RT). Niese and Skipper appear to the be the first players up next at tackle and along the interior. That group as a whole played really well against the Chiefs, keeping a nice pocket for Sudfeld to throw in and not allowing a sack.
