In the Arizona Cardinals' 37-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday, 20 players participated in at least one of the 77 defensive snaps, and 32 players participated in at least one of the 26 special teams snaps.
Three were on the field for all of the defensive snaps: Mike linebacker Cody Simon and safeties Jalen Thompson and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. Cornerbacks Will Johnson and Denzel Burke missed two.
How were the snaps divided up? Below are the individual snap counts for every player who got into the game defensively, grouped by position, as well as the snap counts on special teams.
The first number after each name is snaps and the second is the percentage. Players in bold were starters.
Campbell and Tomlinson didn’t have as many tackles as Carter or Robinson, but they each had a sack. Carter and Robinson led the group with five tackles (two solo by Carter and one for Robinson). Campbell had three tackles (two solo/one for loss), while Tomlinson had two tackles, one of which was a solo for loss. He also had a quarterback hit as did Campbell. Stills had three tackles (two solo).
Collier played his first game since suffering a knee injury in Week 2 and had three tackles and a QB hit. Carter was elevated from the practice squad for his third game this season, while Mustipher was inactive for the first time all season.
Simon accumulated 15 tackles (four solo), shared a sack with Collins and had one QB hit. Davis-Gaither had four tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed. Ojulari had two solo tackles, Burch two assists with a pass defensed, Browning one solo tackle and Collins one assist, one pass defensed and the shared sack. Sweat’s snaps were limited after not practicing during the week because of knee and ankle injuries. He had one assisted tackle and a third-quarter neutral-zone penalty that gave the Bengals a first down on third-and-5 from the Cardinals' 11-yard line. That led to a touchdown and a 30-7 Cincinnati lead.
Taylor-Demerson was second on the team with nine tackles (five solo). Burke had six tackles (five solo/one for loss) and two passes defensed. He had a few missed tackles and was unable to push Bengals 345-pound offensive lineman Cody Ford out of bounds on his 21-yard reception. Hall had five tackles (two solo) and also had an issue with missed tackles. Johnson had four solo tackles and a 16-yard pass interference penalty. Thompson returned after missing two games because of a hamstring injury and had four tackles (three solo).
Haack had a mostly solid day punting with a 54.3-yard average on six punts and 45.0 net. He had three inside the 20 on punts of 61 and 63 yards. However, one line-drive punt was returned 43 yards by wide receiver Ke’Shawn Williams and led to a late second-quarter touchdown and 23-7 lead for the Bengals.
Sims averaged 26.4 yards on five kickoff returns with one for 31, while Weaver had a 27-yard return.
