Ravens’ Week 17 snap counts vs. Bengals: Playoffs, here we come!

In the final game of the 2020 regular season, the Baltimore Ravens’ snap counts against the Bengals could point to who will star in playoffs

The Baltimore Ravens punched their ticket to the postseason on Sunday, as they thumped the Cincinnati Bengals 38-3 to improve to 11-5 on the season. The win ensured playoff football for the Ravens for the third season in a row.

Baltimore came into the game with a few injury concerns, with starters Patrick Mekari, Willie Snead, Yannick Ngakoue, and Jimmy Smith all inactive. But thankfully they emerged from the game without any additions to the injury list while coach John Harbaugh was optimistic some would return for the postseason.

Over the last few weeks, the Ravens’ offense has looked dangerous and reminiscent of the form it showed as they steamrolled the league a year ago. In combination with their stifling defense, the snap counts will tell quite a lot about which players the Ravens could lean on during the playoffs.

Let’s check out Baltimore’s offensive and defensive snap counts from Week 17.

Ravens’ Week 16 snap counts vs. Giants: Getting the job done

A look at the playing time for the Ravens players against the Giants on Sunday, as well as who produced the most with their opportunities.

The Baltimore Ravens have their playoff fate back in their own hands following their fourth-straight win, this time over the New York Giants, 27-13. At 10-5, Baltimore is now the No. 6 seed in the AFC and can clinch a Wild Card spot with a win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17.

The Ravens have been hampered by injuries all season long but put together their strongest gameday squad of the last few weeks against the Giants. However, they were still down cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Jimmy Smith, who will hopefully heal up and be ready for a potential playoff matchup.

With Baltimore seemingly finding the right combination of players at the end of the season, the snap counts will tell quite a lot about which players the Ravens are leaning on to get into the playoffs.

Ravens’ Week 15 snap counts vs Jaguars: Baltimore might have found its starting lineup

A look at the playing time for the Ravens players in their Week 15 demolition of the Jacksonville Jaguars

The Baltimore Ravens improved to 9-5 in the 2020 NFL regular season after a comprehensive 40-14 victory over the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Baltimore has now won three games in a row as they continue to push for a Wild Card berth.

The Ravens were not at full strength for this one, with a number of key players ruled inactive just before kickoff. But the players that were left were more than a match for the Jaguars. With Baltimore leading 26-0 at halftime, this was never really a contest.

Ravens’ Week 14 snap counts vs Browns: Getting the gang back together

As the season comes to a close, the Baltimore Ravens are still tinkering with their starting lineups and who gets the most snaps.

The Baltimore Ravens improved to 8-5 on the season with a dramatic, frenetic, and thrilling victory over the Cleveland Browns on “Monday Night Football.” The victory keeps them alive in the race for the playoffs and gives them a handy tiebreaker over the Browns, which could come in useful in the season’s final weeks.

The game was not without incident from a personnel point of view, with conspiracy theories abounding regarding the reason for Lamar Jackson’s “break” during the game not least among them. But with the season winding down, the snap counts point to a still-evolving team.

Ravens’ Week 13 snap counts vs Cowboys: Back to the backfield merry go round

See which Baltimore Ravens players got the most time on the field against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13.

The Baltimore Ravens got back to winning ways on Tuesday night as they eased past the Dallas Cowboys 34-17. The victory improves the Ravens record to 7-5 while dropping the Cowboys to 3-9. The Week 14 clash between the Ravens and the Cleveland Browns is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of the season for both teams in their hunt for a place in the postseason.

The Ravens were back to something approaching a full-strength roster against the Cowboys, although the specter of COVID-19 continues to haunt the team. Wide receiver Dez Bryant was pulled from the game during warm-ups after it was revealed that he had tested positive for the virus.

Ravens’ Week 12 snap counts vs Steelers: A host of unfamiliar faces

With so many players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, this week’s snap counts look dramatically different for the Baltimore Ravens vs. Steelers

The result was not what the Baltimore Ravens wanted. But given the depleted roster heading into the long-delayed Week 12 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a 19-14 loss was far from a disaster.

The loss drops Baltimore to 6-5 on the season, which means they can no longer win the AFC North. It also drops them two games behind the Cleveland Browns in the division. With a third consecutive loss, a season that started so promisingly is beginning to unravel for the Ravens.

It’s near impossible to make heads or tails of the snap counts this week thanks to so many new faces getting their first playing time due to the COVID-19 outbreak. But for as disappointing as the final score was, getting an in-game look at what the young players can do is something that should help Baltimore in the long-term.

Ravens’ Week 10 snap counts vs. Patriots: Injuries beginning to pile up

With injuries beginning to pile up for the Baltimore Ravens, their Week 10 snap counts show some of the changes happening.

The loss on the scoreboard was one of many losses for the Baltimore Ravens in Week 10 after a 23-17 reverse against the New England Patriots. The defeat drops them to 6-3, now three games back from the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers and level with the feisty Cleveland Browns.

But while the result is painful, the team suffered a number of key injuries during the game including a gruesome-looking one to tight end Nick Boyle. The team has already confirmed that he’s done for the year, leaving the Ravens with just a single tight end on the 53-man roster.

Ravens’ Week 9 snap counts vs. Colts: A new offensive line stays steady

We take a closer look at the Baltimore Ravens’ snap counts in Week 9 to see who played and what changes the starting lineup made.

The Baltimore Ravens got back to their winning ways with a 24-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. It wasn’t always pretty but the Ravens overcame a lot of hurdles in Week 9 to pick up a statement win, including battling with several new starters on the offensive line and injuries on defense.

At the midpoint of the season, all of those changes ultimately mean a time of uncertainty for Baltimore. Swapping starters at this point is never an ideal situation and it’ll take time for the Ravens to get back up to whatever full speed truly looks like. But at the same time, Baltimore’s snap counts against Indianapolis at least clues us into where the Ravens might be heading in terms of their personnel.

Ravens’ Week 8 snap counts vs. Steelers: Changing the lineup

A look at the playing time for members of the Baltimore Ravens offense and defense in their Week 8 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Baltimore Ravens fell, 28-24, to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The Ravens now sit at 5-2 on the year, while the Steelers remain unbeaten and atop the AFC and the AFC North. But the loss will be seen as more costly than just on Baltimore’s current record.

Days after signing a lucrative long-term extension, the Ravens lost left tackle Ronnie Stanley to a season-ending ankle injury. Matthew Judon allowed his emotions to get the better of him as he was ejected from the game for contacting an official. Cornerback Marlon Humphrey tested positive for COVID-19. Meanwhile, one of the young stars of the offense broke ranks to make his displeasure regarding his role known to the watching world. There are worrying cracks beginning to develop on this roster.

Rams Week 10 snap counts: O-line depth tested, Matthews outsnaps Fowler

The Rams’ depth up front was tested against the Steelers on Sunday.

In the last two years, the Los Angeles Rams started essentially the same offensive linemen for all 32 games. The only major change was with Austin Blythe replacing Jamon Brown at right guard last season.

This year has not been as kind to the Rams in terms of health and continuity. Joseph Noteboom is out for the year with a torn ACL, while both Brian Allen and Rob Havenstein suffered knee injuries on Sunday.

Those injuries have really tested the Rams’ depth up front this season, especially against the Steelers in Week 10. Looking at the snap counts, Los Angeles had to do a lot of shuffling on the offensive line.

Offense

Allen only played 13 snaps before injuring his knee. He was replaced by Blythe at center, which caused Austin Corbett to step in at left guard. No one on the offensive line played well Sunday, and the injuries only made things worse.

When Havenstein went down late in the game, David Edwards moved to right tackle after already making the switch to right guard to start the game. Coleman Shelton came in and played guard to complete the unit.

Josh Reynolds played more than Cooper Kupp, which is surprising. Kupp was blanked on the stat sheet, failing to catch any of the four targets that came his way. Robert Woods played every offensive snap, while Mike Thomas chipped in three plays.

Todd Gurley played 74 percent of the snaps, which is his third-highest snap share of the season. He only carried the ball 12 times, though, and gained 73 yards. Malcolm Brown and Darell Henderson split the other 20 snaps Gurley didn’t play.

Gerald Everett played more than double the snaps Tyler Higbee did and caught eight passes for 68 yards. Higbee caught three of his four targets for 22 yards. Everett remains the Rams’ best option at tight end.
