Snap counts: Theo Riddick earns start at receiver, Ezekiel Ansah comes off bench

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Detroit Lions (3-5) dropped a second straight game Sunday, this one by a 24-9 measure against division rival Minnesota (5-3-1). Here is an analysis of how the snaps were distributed.

-- There was a lot of speculation about how the Lions would replace Golden Tate, who, in case you live under a rock or haven't had wifi in a week or whatever, was traded to Philadelphia. Theo Riddick wound up leading the way in the slot, earning the start there and playing 56 percent of the offensive snaps overall. He actually led the Lions in catches too.
