Let’s take a detailed look at the Detroit Lions Week 8 snap counts from their 38-point win over the Tennessee Titans. Two things to keep in mind this week: first, the Lions constantly had the ball in great field position because of special teams and turnovers, so the snap counts are lower than normal (just 48 plays on offense); second, with such a massive lead, the Lions turned to their backups in the fourth quarter.
Jeremy Reisman best illustrated the unusualness of this game with this fun stat: the Lions were the first team since 1941 to score over 50 points but have less than 250 yards of offense in a single game.
