Time to take a closer look at the Detroit Lions’ snap counts in their 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Offense
Quarterbacks
Jared Goff: 79 (100%)
Hendon Hooker: 0 (0%)
After the Lions played 80 offensive snaps last week, they follow it up with 79. That’s a lot of playing time for the offense.
Running backs
Jahmyr Gibbs: 59 (75%)
David Montgomery: 24 (30%)
Craig Reynolds: 0 (1%) — 20 special teams snaps (56%)
Sione Vaki: 0 (0%) — 29 (81%)
Because Montgomery was dealing with an injury and the Lions were forced to abandon the running game, they leaned heavier on Gibbs than they typically do.
