The Green Bay Packers’ 43-34 win over the Minnesota Vikings in week one resulted in some remarkable numbers. Perhaps no number is more striking, however, than the time of possession: Green Bay held the ball for 41:16 to Minnesota’s paltry 18:44, a dynamic that is reflected in the snap counts for the two teams.
The Packers ran a total of 78 offensive snaps to Minnesota’s 52, and Green Bay had the football for at least 9:30 in three of the four quarters of the game.
While that number is interesting, the snap breakdown at the tight end position for the Packers was particularly fascinating.
