Mark Sanchez had an up close and personal look at Detroit Lions defensive end Ziggy Ansah, a rising force among pass-rushers in the NFL who is joining the territory reserved for the game’s elite.
For Sanchez, Ansah was too close for comfort too many times in Thursday’s 45-14 loss to the Lions at Ford Field.
The Lions dominated the game on offense and defense, and Ansah won any personal duels that confronted him with three solo sacks, an assist on another, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
It added up to a personal one-game high of 3.
