The Cincinnati Bengals made it two wins in a row courtesy of the blowout of the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Along the way, rookies like Chase Brown had huge performances as the Bengals kept their playoff hopes alive.
Here’s a look at some quick takeaways from the game’s snap count chart:
- Brown got 30 percent of the snaps and made the most of it with his huge highlight touchdown, totaling 80 yards on three catches. He’s the speed the offense has desperately needed. Joe Mixon still had 63 percent of the snaps to keep a rotation going.
- More tight end usage seems to mean less Tyler Boyd, as he got just 52 percent. Drew Sample, 67 percent, with Tanner Hudson at 23 percent while scoring his first career touchdown. Irv Smith Jr. got just eight snaps.
- The defensive youth movement is real — DJ Turner, Dax Hill and Jordan Battle all played 88 percent of the snaps or more.
- First-rounder Myles Murphy was down at 36 percent but still out-snapped Joseph Ossai.
- Veteran Nick Scott saw just eight snaps amid that youth movement.
