Browns Week 8 snap count: Cornerback, running back usage interesting

Taking a look at Sunday’s snap counts a few things stand out including usage for corners and running backs and the snap count difference between the two teams:

The Cleveland Browns lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in a very winnable game. Injuries always play a role, at least lately, for the Browns and Sunday was no different. On top of players like Denzel Ward, Kareem Hunt and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah already out, the team lost Jack Conklin and John Johnson III during the game.

Taking a look at snaps counts often finds some interesting totals after a game that are hard to discern while the game is going on. With missing players, it is interesting to see how snaps were divvied out.

Total snaps this week also told a tale. Pittsburgh had 74 snaps on offense while Cleveland only had 59. The inverse snaps totals then were true for each defense.
