Snap counts: Kerryon Johnson already being used like a No. 1 running back

DETROIT -- The Lions knocked off the Patriots 26-10 on Sunday for their first victory of the season. The club is now 1-2 heading into a game in Dallas against the Cowboys next Sunday. But first, an analysis of how the snaps were doled out.

-- Kerryon Johnson came off the bench for a third straight week, but sure played like a starter. He was on the field for 33 offensive snaps, which was seven more than LeGarrette Blount, who started. He got 16 carries on those 33 snaps -- basically once every two times he was on the field -- and turned them into 101 yards rushing.
