Under the bright lights of Monday Night Football, former BYU defensive end Ezekiel Ansah had one of his best NFL performances in Detroit's 24-10 victory over the New York Giants on Monday.

Ansah finished the game with three sacks for the Lions, a half-sack short of his pro career high. One sack came on a third-and-6, and another he forced Giants quarterback Eli Manning to fumble the ball.
