The Pittsburgh Steelers advanced in the playoffs Saturday night with an 18-16 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The snap counts from that game have now been compiled and while there aren’t many surprises included in them, there are a few totals worth pointing out.
As expected running back Fitzgerald Toussaint received most of the playing time in the backfield. However, Jordan Todman not only played 14 snaps, he really made them count as he carried the football 11 times for 65 yards.
Defensively for the Steelers, cornerback Antwon Blake saw most of the playing time in both the base and the nickel defense. Fellow cornerback Brandon Boykin also played a large amount of snaps in the nickel sub package.
The Steelers really rotated their outside linebackers against the Bengals and Arthur Moats led the way with 41 total snaps. Inside linebacker Vince Williams only played 2 snaps while fellow inside linebacker Sean Spence only saw the field on special teams.
