Let’s take a closer look at the Detroit Lions Week 1 snap counts from their 38-35 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Offense
Quarterbacks
Jared Goff: 69 (100% of offensive snaps)
Running backs
D’Andre Swift: 46 (67%)
Jamaal Williams: 23 (33%)
Justin Jackson: 0 (0%) — 20 special teams snaps (65%)
Craig Reynolds: 0 (0%) — 14 (45%)
The gap is starting to widen between the amount the Lions used Swift vs. Williams. While the carry count (15 to 11) was even, it’s clear the Lions now view Swift as their clear No.
