ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- There wasn’t a set number that Ezekiel Ansah was aiming for in the preseason. He saw what top defensive ends in the league were producing, what some of the top pass-rushers in the NFL were capable of, and felt that he should also be able to do that.
So before the season, Ansah made it clear that double-digit sacks were going to be a priority. Midway through the season, he’s on pace for that, with seven sacks in his first eight games. Now, though, his goals are higher. His plan is bigger.
