Week 8 snap counts: Despite 3 turnovers, Lions ran nearly twice as many plays as Raiders

Back in week two in Buffalo, the Raiders had a snap count disparity that was nearly half that of their opponent. It was such an astounding stat I wasn’t sure I’d see it again. But just six weeks later, here we are again.

The Lions ran 86 plays on offense against the Raiders Monday night. Compared the 46 offensive plays for the Raiders. That’s nearly a two to one differential.

And this happened despite the Raiders taking the ball away from the Lions three times. Two of those takeaways gave the ball back to the Raiders’ offense. Off of those two takeaways, the Raiders offense got a total of four snaps — an interception by Jimmy Garoppolo and a three-and-out.

That’s how, despite winning the turnover battle 3-1, you still manage just seven points on offense and lose 26-14.
