The Arizona Cardinals played 69 offensive snaps in their 27-13 Week 16 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Let’s see how the playing time was divided up and it meant.
Quarterback
Kyler Murray, 37; Brett Hundley, 32
Murray left with an injury. It was Hundley’s first game action since he had three snaps at the end of the Cardinals’ loss to the Saints. Murray’s status for Week 17 is uncertain. Hundley might get a start.
Running back
Kenyan Drake, 56; David Johnson, 15
Chase Edmonds got shut out again. Johnson had three touches in his 15 snaps. Both running backs were on the field at the same time twice, including the first snap of the game.
Wide receiver
Christian Kirk, 65; Larry Fitzgerald, 60; Damiere Byrd, 25; Pharoh Cooper, 21; Andy Isabella, 10; Trent Sherfield, 3
There was a lot of receiver play without a lot of production. Larry Fitzgerald had four catches. The rest of the receivers combined for three. Kirk had zero.
Tight end
Maxx Williams, 45; Darrell Daniels, 23; Dan Arnold, 18; Charles Clay, 4
Clay played little because he left with an injury. That gave Daniels a lot of playing time.
Offensive line
Justin Murray, 69; D.J. Humphries, 69; Justin Pugh, 66; J.R. Sweezy, 65; A.Q. Shipley, 64; Mason Cole, 12
Cole continues to get worked in a little bit. It isn’t because of injuries. He got five snaps at center, four at right guard and three at left guard.
