Snaps- Greg Manusky’s defense was on the field for 71 plays and 75 snaps in the regular season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. The only other time the D ran more plays since the start of last season was in Week 13 when the Eagles had 72 plays against them. That game also ties this one for the most defensive snaps played by the Redskins since Week 15 of 2017 (82 snaps).
All but two of the team’s 25 defenders suited up for the contest and 19 of them (76%) got action on the defensive side of the ball.
