The New Orleans Saints put the Arizona Cardinals away in a Week 8 game that wasn’t as close as the final score (31-9) implies. They accomplished that with some big contributions from rookies like defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and timely assistance from backup center Will Clapp, who finished out a two-minute drill before halftime in relief of injured starer Erik McCoy. Here are your Week 8 Saints snap counts.
Offensive Backfield
- QB Drew Brees, 70/76 (92%)
- RB Latavius Murray, 62/76 (82%)
- FB Zach Line, 33/76 (43%)
- QB Taysom Hill, 15/76 (20%)
- RB Dwayne Washington, 6/76 (8%)
- QB Teddy Bridgewater, 5/76 (7%)
It was great to see Brees back under center, taking this opportunity to shake off some rust and cruise to a win before New Orleans’ bye week.
