Snap counts: Ezekiel Ansah suffers shoulder injury after just 19 plays

DETROIT -- The Lions lost 48-17 on Monday night in their season opener against the New York Jets. Here's a look at how Matt Patricia divvied up the snaps in his debut.

-- The question about Ziggy Ansah was never about whether he'd be ready for the start of the season, but rather just how long he would hold up. Answer: 19 snaps into Week 1. And, hey, he was pretty good on those 19 snaps, racking up one of Detroit's two sacks on a beautiful stunt with Jarrad Davis. He finished with four tackles, which was just two off the team lead despite his limited playing time.
