The Saints went very heavy with their receivers in their 20-17 win over the Falcons Sunday. Five pass catchers played more downs than their main running back, Tim Hightower. Tight end Ben Watson was the leader of the pack, playing 91% of the offensive snaps. Possibly most surprising is Brandon Coleman, who played 56% of the game, which is a lot for him. And even Seantavius Jones got a little action yesterday. Senio Kelemete got the start at left tackle and played the entire game with Terron Armstead being out.
On defense, Stephone Anthony only saw the field for 39% of the total snaps and Delvin Breaux only 54%, which makes holding the Falcons to only 17 points even more impressive. The hero of the game, Jamarca Sanford, only played 11 snaps but he was obviously on the field when it mattered most.
Here's the full list of snap counts:
