Detroit Lions Week 5 snap counts observations: Rookies starting to take over

Let’s take a closer look at the Detroit Lions’ Week 5 snap count in their 19-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Offense

Quarterbacks

Jared Goff: 68 (100%)

Running backs

D’Andre Swift: 50 (74%)
Jamaal Williams: 22 (32%)
Jason Cabinda: 12 (18%) — 17 special teams snaps (65%)
Godwin Igwebuike: 0 (0%) — 17 (65%)

Not many changes in running back usage for this game. Again, game situation likely tilted the scales heavily in Swift’s favor, but Williams continues to get the start, and he’s making the most out of his early opportunities.
