The Indianapolis Colts got their first win of the season over the Chicago Bears in Week 3 despite some key injuries. Snap count totals have been released, providing some context to how the Colts utilized their personnel.

Offense

Player	Snaps	%
Anthony Richardson	56	100%
Bernhard Raimann	56	100%
Quenton Nelson	56	100%
Ryan Kelly	56	100%
Will Fries	56	100%
Braden Smith	56	100%
Jonathan Taylor	49	88%
Michael Pittman Jr.	47	84%
Alec Pierce	43	77%
Josh Downs	32	57%
Mo Alie-Cox	31	55%
Kylen Granson	27	48%
Andrew Ogletree	20	36%
Ashton Dulin	14	25%
Adonai Mitchell	7	12%
Trey Sermon	5	9%
Anthony Gould	3	5%
Tyler Goodson	2	4%

For the third straight week, the Colts were fortunate to have Anthony Richardson and the five starters along the offensive line for the entire game. Barring injury, we will likely not see any changes to this trend.

Snap counts for the offensive skill players were divvied up a little differently due to the return of Josh Downs into the lineup. Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce remained the most utilized receivers while Adonai Mitchell's playing time decreased drastically after a disappointing game last week. Mitchell was passed over in favor of a combination of Downs and Ashton Dulin.

On the defensive side of the ball, five players played 100% of the snaps (90 total): Zaire Franklin, E.J. Speed, Jaylon Jones, Julian Blackmon, and Nick Cross. Dallis Flowers again appeared to split time with Samuel Womack III in an effort to fill the void left after the season-ending injury to JuJu Brents.

In the absence of DeForest Buckner, who has been placed on injured reserve, Taven Bryan got the start, but it was Raekwon Davis who played more snaps in the Colts' effort to stop the run. Tyquan Lewis, Kwity Paye, and Dayo Odeyingbo all played over 60 snaps and Laiatu Latu, dealing with a hip injury, played less than 40% of the total defensive snaps, but made his presence felt with 5 total pressures including a strip-sack in the fourth quarter to help put the game away.
