Lions snap counts: Kerryon Johnson becomes the top RB in win over Packers

Kerryon Johnson is not a bell cow and should never be a bell cow at 206 pounds, but he's the most talented running back the Lions have right now. That's what had people so upset.

The outrage was loud and clear after last week that people wanted to see more of the Lions' second-round rookie running back. This week, they did. Johnson played 29 snaps, up nine from last week, and he finished as the most-used back on the team in a 31-23 home victory over the Packers.

Theo Riddick received 19 snaps and LeGarrette Blount 18.
