Lions Week 4 Snap Counts Reveal Coaches Sticking With Worst Unit

In this story:
Here are the Detroit Lions snap counts from their Week 4 Sunday Night Football contest at Bank of America Stadium against the Carolina Panthers.
Running back Jahmyr Gibbs saw an increase in playing time, since the team was trailing for most of the contest. Jameson Williams only took one offensive snap off, as he played 99 percent of offensive snaps this week.
Unfortunately, Detroit is forced to play the same starters in the secondary as they did against the Jets. Kelvin Sheppard's defense had little to no answers for the Panthers' offense, whether in man or zone coverages.
