The Detroit Lions are facing some criticism for playing starters against the Minnesota Vikings after rookie tight end Sam LaPorta suffered an injury and did not return. But after looking at the snap counts and talking to coach Dan Campbell, it appears Detroit did make some personnel decisions to rest or lower the playing time of key players.
Let’s take a closer look in our Week 18 snap counts.
Offense
Quarterbacks
Jared Goff: 57 (100%)
Teddy Bridgewater: N/A
Hendon Hooker: INACTIVE
Sadly, we never got to see Teddy Bridgewater go against his former team in what is expected to be the final regular season of his career.
