The Indianapolis Colts (5-4) woke up to the reality that the lowly Miami Dolphins (2-7) came into their home at Lucas Oil Stadium and utterly dominated en route to a 16-12 loss for Indy.
It was a shocking and pathetic performance from a team that is supposed to compete for a spot in the AFC playoffs. No, they weren’t at full strength, but this is still a game they should have won with ease.
Here’s a look at the offensive snap counts from the Week 10 loss:
Behind the offensive line and quarterback Brian Hoyer, wide receivers Zach Pascal and Marcus Johnson led the way playing 99% and 80% of the snaps, respectively. Johnson was called up the day prior from the practice squad.
After publicly venting his frustrations, tight end Eric Ebron out-snapped Jack Doyle while Marlon Mack and Nyheim Hines split snaps in the backfield due to game script.
Here’s a look at the defensive and special teams snap counts:
It seems rookie safety Khari Willis is officially taking over the strong safety role. He played 91% of the snaps while veteran Clayton Geathers saw just six(!) plays on defense.
Rookie defensive end Ben Banogu only played on 24% of the snaps while cornerback Marvell Tell continues to get more playing time—logging 71% of the defensive snaps on Sunday.
