The Cleveland Browns lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in a very winnable game. Injuries always play a role, at least lately, for the Browns and Sunday was no different. On top of players like Denzel Ward, Kareem Hunt and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah already out, the team lost Jack Conklin and John Johnson III during the game.

Taking a look at snaps counts often finds some interesting totals after a game that are hard to discern while the game is going on. With missing players, it is interesting to see how snaps were divvied out.

Total snaps this week also told a tale. Pittsburgh had 74 snaps on offense while Cleveland only had 59. The inverse snaps totals then were true for each defense.

• J Wills T 59 100%

With Johnson going out, Anthony Walker took over the defensive play-calling once again leading to him being in for 100% of the snaps. Greedy Williams and Greg Newsome II carried the load at cornerback with Troy Hill only logging 44 snaps in the game.

Despite being questionable for the game, Jadeveon Clowney was out for 55 snaps, the same as Myles Garrett. Jordan Elliott played his highest number of plays so far this year in Week 8 while Joe Jackson and Ifeadi Odenigbo combined for 44 snaps to help replace the injured Takk McKinley.
