Allen Park – The Lions had hoped defensive end Ziggy Ansah would return to form this season, an offseason removed from a high-ankle sprain that hampered him throughout the 2016 campaign. But he hasn’t been anywhere near as consistent as he was early in his career.
Yes, there’s been an uptick in sack production. Ansah has a respectable 4.0 through six games, but most of the damage was done in one game, when he abused New York Giants struggling left tackle Ereck Flowers to the tune of six tackles and three sacks.
In the five other games, Ansah has recorded just eight tackles and one sack.
