Both Von Miller and Bradley Chubb played 90% of the defensive snaps. Honestly, this is how it should be with elite players at most positions - you want them on the field for as many plays as possible. You can’t have an impact from the sideline as a player. For the first time in his career Will Parks played every defensive snap.
With Brandon Marshall hurting both Todd Davis (95%) and Josey Jewell (64%) played career high levels of the defensive snaps. Even though they were healthy, both Adam Jones and Isaac Yiadom played zero defensive snaps. Domata Peko played a season high 66% of the defensive snaps. Demarcus Walker played one defensive snap. This is turning into another wasted season for Walker.
