Below are the snaps counts from the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday 55-31 loss to the New England Patriots along with some observations
Backup tight end Michael Palmer saw three snaps on offense and David Paulson saw zero. That certainly tells you what they think of Paulson right now.
Even though he was demoted, Jarvis Jones played 21 snaps. Judging by the snaps that Steve McLendon and Al Woods played, the Steelers used base nearly 40 times when you take away the goal-line plays.
Stevenson Sylvester saw his first playing time of the season on defense after Vince Williams left with a concussion.
