Five games into the 2019 regular season, the New England Patriots have yet to taste defeat: on Sunday, the team went on to road to defeat the Washington Redskins with a final score of 33-7. The defense was once again lights-out, the offense got into a groove during the second half of the game, and special teams also had some good moments. With that in mind, let’s dig a little deeper into the snap count numbers from the game to get an impression of how the Patriots used their players.
Offense
Total snaps: 78
The Patriots offense saw a lot of action against Washington, with the unit being on the field for a total of 78 snaps — 41 of which coming in the first half, which was later mentioned by quarterback Tom Brady as an important factor in getting the running game going in the third and fourth quarters.
