Snap counts! During the season, they help to illuminate who is dominating snaps and who is limited to special teams after you’ve watched the game, and provide us an opportunity to look for trends. In preseason, they tell us who the Falcons are serious about getting an extended look at.
Let’s break down this week’s snap counts for Falcons vs. Chiefs.
Offense
T Matt Gono: 33
TE Logan Paulsen: 19
QB Matt Ryan: 14
WR Marvin Hall: 12
TE Troy Mangen: 7
WR Cody Pearson: 3
