Here are the Patriots snap counts from week 15’s 16-3 victory over the Broncos.
Joe Thuney has no longer played every offensive snap this year
LT Nate Solder, C David Andrews, RG Shaq Mason, RT Marcus Cannon, and QB Tom Brady played all 75 snaps on Sunday. LG Joe Thuney, who had previously played every single offensive snap in 2016, played 74 snaps (99%). What happened?
The Patriots brought out the 2014 AFC Divisional Round Ravens play with LB Shea McClellin to waste Von Miller in coverage. This was McClellin’s only offensive snap on the day.
