The Cincinnati Bengals at least somewhat got the season back on track with Sunday night’s win over the New York Giants.
Now 2-4, here’s a quick look at how the Bengals deployed players in the effort, via the snap counts takeaways:
- Ja’Marr Chase up to 90 percent of the snaps, with Tee Higgins right behind at 85 percent. Andrei Iosivas dominated the rest at 66 percent.
- Chase Brown took 33 snaps to Zack Moss‘ 24 as that seemingly continues to shift the sophomore’s way.
- Rookie tight end Erick All had 23 snaps, with Drew Sample only playing three more than him. On the subject of that position, Mike Gesicki played just 19.
- Coordinator Lou Anarumo mixed it up more on defense, primarily with Vonn Bell reducing to 84 percent of the snaps while Jordan Battle got 18 percent at safety.
- With Dax Hill lost for the year, Cam Taylor-Britt and DJ Turner played 99 percent of the reps at boundary cornerback.
- Anarumo gave Trey Hendrickson (47 snaps) some relief in the form of 40 snaps for Joseph Ossai.
- Rookies Kris Jenkins Jr. and McKinnley Jackson got 39 and 21 snaps, respectively.
