The Cincinnati Bengals found a way to squeak out a huge win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
With the win, the Bengals head to the bye at 3-3, in large part thanks to a huge defensive showing. Names like Joe Burrow and the injured Orlando Brown Jr. can now rest up before heading for a massive showdown against the San Francisco 49ers.
Here are some of the big snap count takeaways from the game:
- Brown landed on 69 percent of the snaps on the day before exiting with the groin injury. Cody Ford came in as relief (D’Ante ‘Smith was inactive).
- Quiet day for Joe Mixon, who had 38 snaps but just 12 carries and three catches.
- Ja’Marr Chase up above 90 percent of the snaps again, this time with six catches for 80 yards.
- Irv Smith Jr. got 33 snaps but had just one catch on two targets.
- Tee Higgins, back with the rib injury, played just 54 percent of the snaps. Trenton Irwin was out there for 44 percent but didn’t have a target.
- After that chatter about rookie Jordan Battle getting more looks, he played just seven snaps, while Nick Scott played 68.
- Rookie DJ Turner had a big day on 62 snaps, while Cam Taylor-Britt’s breakout game had him playing 100 percent of the looks.
- Chidobe Awuzie is clearly on a pitch count while he manages a back injury and played just 14 snaps.
