Colts’ snap counts from 44-27 win over Raiders

Snap counts from the Week 14 win.

The Indianapolis Colts (9-4) came through with an impressive 44-27 win over the Las Vegas Raiders (7-6) on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium, further pushing their way into the AFC playoff picture.

It was a complete win that featured spectacular plays in all three phases. It was a game that showed the Colts have close to no weaknesses when firing on all cylinders.

After the win, we’ll be taking a look at the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams:

Offense

Notes

  • Michael Pittman Jr. continues to lead the way in the WR room. He played 90% of the snaps while Zach Pascal and T.Y. Hilton both had a 67% snap share.
  • In the backfield, it was the Jonathan Taylor show. He played 56% of snaps while Nyheim Hines followed at 36%. With Taylor playing well, Jordan Wilkins continues to see a very limited role.
  • TE Jack Doyle got back on top leading the tight ends at a nice 69% snap share. Trey Burton played just a handful more snaps than Mo Alie-Cox. Their low snap shares suggest a lot of 11 personnel on Sunday.
  • LT Anthony Castonzo played 75% of snaps. The Colts put Chaz Green in to replace him at first but then moved Quenton Nelson to LT and plugged in Joey Hunt at LG on the drive before Castonzo’s return.

Defense & Special Teams

Notes

  • No player played 100% of the snaps this week, likely due to the blowout at the end of the game.
  • CB Rock Ya-Sin saw his snap count rise due to the injury to Xavier Rhodes during the second half.
  • DE Kemoko Turay played a season-high 24% of snaps.
  • S George Odum and LB Zaire Franklin unsurprisingly led the special teams unit. S Ibraheim Campbell was also up there as the replacement to LB Jordan Glasgow, who is on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Colts’ snap counts in 38-35 loss to Bucs

A look at the snap counts from Week 14.

The Indianapolis Colts (6-7) were defeated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7) on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium in what was the most thrilling game for the former this season.

It ended in a loss, though, much in part due to another fourth-quarter collapse. That is certainly becoming a trend, especially since the Colts held a 14-point lead midway through the third quarter.

As we move past the high-scoring loss, here’s a look at the offensive snap counts on Sunday:

There aren’t many surprises here. Wide receivers Zach Pascal and Marcus Johnson led the way in both production and snaps. Pascal played 100% of the snaps for the second-straight game.

In the backfield, the game script called for more of Nyheim Hines. He led the group in snaps while Marlon Mack led the backfield in carries and was able to salvage his day with a two-yard touchdown.

Rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell made his return from a hand fracture and played roughly half of the offensive snaps.

Here’s a look at the defensive and special teams snap counts:

With Kenny Moore out due to an ankle injury, Rolan Milligan played the most snaps in the slot. Whether that was for better or worse is up to interpretation, but it was odd to see rookie Marvell Tell get only two snaps on defense.

Fellow rookie defensive end Ben Banogu continues to be used solely in a situational role even with the pass rush still being inconsistent throughout the game.
