Titans-Colts: a look at offensive snap counts

Here’s a complete look at the offensive snap counts.

The Tennessee Titans (7-5) looked like a much different, much more improved team as they faced the Indianapolis Colts (6-6) for the second time this season and recorded a 31-17 win in Lucas Oil Stadium.

Offensive linemen Rodger Saffold, Nate Davis, Jack Conklin and Ben Jones were in for a full 60 offensive snaps, along with quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

Rookie wide receiver A.J. Brown saw action on 54 snaps — more than any player on offense outside of the linemen and the signal-caller.

Fullback Khari Blasingame was used on special teams more than any of the offense’s players, in for 13 snaps.

Here’s a complete look at the offensive snap counts.

The Titans are set to face the Oakland Raiders next at 3:25 p.m. CT on Sunday in Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
