  • The offense averaged 65.8 snaps through its first five games, but overtime forced it to play a season-high 84 snaps.
  • Trai Turner was in for every offensive play for the second straight game. Fernando Velasco may have planned to spell Turner, but Velasco had to replace Amini Silatolu after he strained his calf on the first series.
  • Greg Olsen, who rested his sore ankle for two days during the week, played every snap, even though it appeared he tweaked the ankle at least twice. Vontaze Burfict didn’t help, either.
  • Jason Avant’s playtime percentage this year, by week: 53%, 60%, 42%, 65%, 41%, 69%.
  • Fozzy Whittaker saw his first offensive snaps of the season, but his sore quad limited him to 27.
  • Brandon Williams caught his first NFL pass, but he played one fewer snap (14) than he did in Week 5.
  • Brenton Bersin (career-high two receptions) caught a pass on 33 percent of his plays.
  • Philly Brown caught one pass and played just five offensive snaps for the second straight week.
  • Chris Ogbonnaya did not have a carry and played only three snaps after he had eight carries on 21 snaps in Week 5.

    How many targets did Bersin get?  Is he still at 100% target:catch???

  • billvoth

    appgrad22 no, had three targets yesterday — one incompletion late.

  • appgrad22

    billvoth appgrad22 That’s unfortunate.  I’d wager that Bersin (at the seams) has the highest catch percentage!
