When the Atlanta Falcons thumped Indianapolis Colts, it was a big surprise and an overdue win for a struggling team. But how did the team pull that off?
We’ve covered off the how—the great defensive effort, Taylor Heinicke doing a good job of piloting the offense, a dominant effort from the ground game—but perhaps the snap counts will illuminate things further. Let’s take a look.
Offense
Taylor Heinicke: 64
Drew Dalman: 64

Matthew Bergeron: 63
Chris Lindstrom: 61
Jake Matthews: 56
