Lions snap count observations: DJ Reader, Tim Patrick get full load in debuts

Let’s take a detailed look at the Detroit Lions’ Week 2 snap counts against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Offense

Quarterbacks

Jared Goff: 85 (100%)
Hendon Hooker: DNP

Goff stayed healthy the entire game despite taking 10 quarterback hits. The amount of overall snaps for the offense (85), goes to show you Detroit controlled the game for long spans of time, despite the loss.

Running backs

Jahmyr Gibbs: 53 (62%)
David Montgomery: 30 (35%)
Sione Vaki: 4 (5%) — 18 special teams snaps (69%)
Craig Reynolds: 3 (4%) — 18 (69%)

After a near-even split last week, the Lions’ game plan favored Gibbs this week, and that makes sense given the production levels.
