| OFFENSIVE TACKLE | OFFENSIVE SNAPS | PERCENTAGE | SPECIAL TEAMS SNAPS | PERCENTAGE |
| Riley Reiff | 78 | 100% | 1 | 4% |
| LaAdrian Waddle | 68 | 87% | 1 | 4% |

| Travis Swanson | 78 | 100% | 1 | 4% |
| Laken Tomlinson | 61 | 78% | 1 | 4% |
| Larry Warford | 19 | 24% | ||
Analysis:
- The Lions, once again, had to deal with a patchworked offensive line. Even though Cornelius Lucas got the start, Detroit quickly plugged in LaAdrian Waddle at the right tackle position, where he stayed for the majority of the game.
- Additionally, Larry Warford's injury forced Laken Tomlinson back into the lineup. The Lions aren't going to see a lot of chemistry along the offensive line if players are continually shuffled around like this.
- Although Joique Bell got more carries in the game, Ameer Abdullah saw the field more often than he did. The Lions coaches are finally catching on, albeit slowly.
- TJ Jones' debut was pretty quiet. Outside of his big punt return, he only had seven other snaps, and only three while the offense was out there.

| PUNTER | SPECIAL TEAMS SNAPS | PERCENTAGE |
| Sam Martin | 9 | 38% |
| LONG SNAPPER | SPECIAL TEAMS SNAPS | PERCENTAGE |
| Don Muhlbach | 6 | 25% |
Analysis:
- Raise your hand if you thought Josh Bynes would be playing 100% of the defensive snaps in Week 3.
- Kyle Van Noy has been delegated to a strictly special teams player. That's got to be a huge disappointment for him and the Lions' drafting department.
- Speaking of drafting issues, Nevin Lawson did not see the field after starting nickel corner Josh Wilson went down. Instead, rookie Quandre Diggs saw a significant amount of playing time.
