The Detroit Lions have pushed more of their cards towards the running game than ever before, especially with second-year running back Kerryon Johnson showing flashes of greatness last season.
The formula for success seems to be clear for the Lions, as in the games in which Kerryon Johnson got 12 carries or more, the Lions went 4-2.
One linemen for the Lions was on the field for not only Johnson’s carries in the wins, but also every carry from every Detroit running back this season. Frank Ragnow cemented his iron-man status in his rookie season with the Lions, as he was on the field for all of the team’s 1,082 offensive snaps in 2018.
