These are the snap counts for the Buffalo Bills in Week 17.
The expectation was that even though the Buffalo Bills had some uncertainty about what seed they would be, they were going to rest a number of starters. The fact that they could not fall lower than third, it didn’t make sense to open key players up to potentially suffering an injury that would force them to miss time during the playoffs.
The coaching staff did elect to rest some players but also had a number of starters play longer than most expected.
