Lions-Commanders NFCD snap counts: Defense, again, needed to adjust for injury

Taking a closer look at the snap counts from the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders NFC Divisional round battle in the 2024-25 NFL Playoffs.

Offense

Quarterbacks

Jared Goff: 66 (96%)
Teddy Bridgewater: 3 (4%)
Hendon Hooker: Emergency third quarterback

An unflagged hit to the head following an interception forced Goff to be evaluated for a concussion, and while he missed the next series (a three-play drive that ended with a Jameson Williams 61-yard touchdown run), he returned the following drive.

Running backs

Jahmyr Gibbs: 52 (75%)
David Montgomery: 17 (25%)
Craig Reynolds: 1 (1%) — 15 special teams snaps (52%)
Sione Vaki: 0 (0%) — 24 (83%)

Montgomery got the start but it was clear from the jump that he needed to get his legs back under him and Gibbs got a significant amount of work.
