Below are the snaps counts from the Pittsburgh Steelers 38-31 Sunday win over the Green Bay Packers along with some observations.
As far as the offense goes, reserve tackle Mike Adams was actually used on four snaps as an extra tight end. With wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders out of the game for the entire second half, rookie wide receiver Markus Wheaton was the beneficiary of extra playing time and as a result he was on the field for 28 plays. Fullback Will Johnson only played two snaps and that was a season low for him.
Defensively, Chris Carter played 57 snaps with Jarvis Jones sidelined with the flu. Also seeing playing time with Jones down was Stevenson Sylvester, who was on the field for 45 plays at right outside linebacker. Vince Williams played 15 snaps in the base defense, while Terence Garvin played 13 in the nickel before leaving with a knee injury.
