Quarterback

Kyler Murray, 61

As we expect, Murray played every snap. However, he did not take every snap. He went in motion on one play when Chase Edmonds took the direct snap and ran the ball.

Running back

Chase Edmonds, 39; James Conner, 24

Conner played less than last week. They were both on the field for two snaps.

Wide receiver

DeAndre Hopkins, 59; A.J. Green, 51; Christian Kirk, 38; Rondale Moore, 28

Hopkins played nearly the entire game. It appears he only left the field when the Cardinals went jumbo. Moore was targeted eight time in 28 snaps.

Tight end

Maxx Williams, 45; Darrell Daniels, 19; Demetrius Harris, 2

Williams was a heavy part of the game plan. Daniels was used a lot more than Harris, which is interesting. We will have to see if that continues.

D.J. Humphries, 61; Justin Pugh, 61; Rodney Hudson, 61; Josh Jones, 58; Justin Murray, 32; Kelvin Beachum, 29; Brian Winters, 3

This week, Winters only got three snaps and Pugh never left the field. Murray took over at right tackle after halftime, when Beachum apparently reinjured his ribs.
