Steelers Vs. Colts: Player Snap Counts – Week 10

The Pittsburgh Steelers got yet another road win Sunday afternoon as they beat the Indianapolis Colts 20-17 at Lucas Oil Stadium. The snap counts from the game have now been compiled and as usual, while there aren’t many surprises included in them, there are a few totals worth pointing out.

Offensive line – All five starters, Alejandro Villanueva, Ramon Foster, Maurkice Pouncey, David DeCastro and Marcus Gilbert played every snap Sunday and that was refreshing to see and it was the first time that’s happened since Week 1. Chris Hubbard played 5 offensive snaps as an extra tight end.

Running backs – As expected, Le’Veon Bell once again played a large amount of snaps as he was only off the field for all of one snap in total. Rookie James Conner was on the field for that one snaps while fullback Roosevelt Nix played just 9 offensive snaps in total.

Wide receiver – Rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster (53 snaps) was on the field a littler more than Martavis Bryant (37 snaps) was and that’s not surprising. Eli Rogers played 18 snaps against the Colts while Darrius Heyward-Bey was limited to only playing on special teams.
