Giants-Redskins Week 16: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants defeated the Washington Redskins in Week 16, likely losing out on the chance to draft all-world edge rusher Chase Young in the process, to improve their record to 4-11 on the season.

The game was an unexpectedly exciting back-and-forth battle from start to finish, but it was Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley who stole the show and stole the W for Big Blue.

Here’s a look at the snap counts that went into Sunday’s victory.

Offensive snaps: 70
Defensive snaps: 70
Special teams snaps: 34

Scott Simonson’s five snaps are very telling and it’s more about Kaden Smith and how highly thought of he is in New York than anything else. Even if Evan Engram were playing, you have to believe Smith would continue to be part of the gameplan.

On the defensive side of the ball, it’s curious to see B.J. Hill get just 17 snaps, especially when considering he was playing at a high level on Sunday. Still, the majority went to Dexter Lawrence, Dalvin Tomlinson and Leonard Williams.
