Colts’ Week 13 snap count notes from last second win vs Patriots

Colts’ Week 13 snap count notes from last second win vs Patriots

On what ended up being the second game-winning drive orchestrated by quarterback Anthony Richardson in the last three weeks, the Indianapolis Colts escaped New England with a win in Week 13.

Following that contest, we have Sunday’s snap count figures from Pro Football Focus. So what stood out?

With far more football games behind us than in front of us, there typically isn’t anything too surprising at this stage of the season when it comes to the snap count figures. However, each week, there are a few noteworthy observations that can be made.

So with help from PFF, here are the Colts’ snap count figures from Week 13, along with some quick notes.

Colts snap counts on offense

Mark Glowinski G    62
Quenton Nelson G    62
Danny Pinter C    62
Bernhard Raimann T    62
Matt Goncalves T    62
Anthony Richardson QB    62
Michael Pittman Jr. WR    57
Jonathan Taylor HB    55
Alec Pierce WR    44
Mo Alie-Cox TE    36
Adonai Mitchell WR    36
Kylen Granson TE    32
Andrew Ogletree TE    32
Laquon Treadwell WR    7
Trey Sermon HB    5
Will Mallory TE    5
Tyler Goodson HB    1

Quick takeaways:

– Mark Glowinski got the start at right guard over Dalton Tucker who had been struggling, and at least on the initial viewing, looked like he performed quite well. Overall, it was a much better showing in the run game by the offensive line.

– No Josh Downs for the Colts meant a heavier dose of two tight end sets. The trio of Mo Alie-Cox, Kylen Granson, and Drew Ogletree all played between 32-36 snaps.

– Not having Downs also meant more opportunities for AD Mitchell. As we’ve seen for much of the season from him, he has a terrific ability to create separation, but can be inconsistent as a pass catcher.
