The Seattle Seahawks are officially in first place in the NFC West after defeating the Minnesota Vikings, 37-30, in front of a raucous crowd on Monday Night Football.
One of the biggest successes on Monday was the pairing of Rashaad Penny and Chris Carson in the backfield, as the duo nearly split playing time identically – with Carson getting 39 snaps and Penny getting 35.
Additionally on offense, receiver Tyler Lockett was on the field for 66 snaps despite coming into the game with flu-like symptoms.
Jacob Hollister remains the team’s primary option at tight end, earning 61 snaps, while veteran receiver Jaron Brown saw eight snaps in his first game action after being inactive in each of the last two weeks.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Seahawks once again relied heavily on their base 4-3 defense. Mychal Kendricks and Cody Barton had 27 and 11 snaps, respectively, while nickel corner Akeem King had 18 snaps – which equaled 33 percent of Seattle’s defensive plays.
Here is a complete look at the snap counts and playing time percentages for the Seahawks on Monday night.
