Between the Lines: Week 14 Snap Count Analysis

NFC North

Chicago Bears - A Late Season Resurgence?

Quarterback: Mitchell Trubisky (100%)

Running Backs: Jordan Howard (55%), Tarik Cohen (42%)

Wide Receivers: Allen Robinson (86%), Taylor Gabriel (80%), Anthony Miller (52%), Josh Bellamy (27%)

Tight Ends: Trey Burton (80%), Adam Shaheen (31%)

It took 14 weeks, but Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard finally eclipsed the century mark in a win over the Rams on Sunday night. Defense and running in cold December Chicago weather sounds like a perfect recipe for success, and the Bears could use Jordan heavily again to milk the clock against Aaron Rodgers and the Pack. Howard finished with 5 catches and 107 total yards when the two teams met back in Week 1.

Detroit Lions - ZZ Top

Quarterback: Matthew Stafford (100%)

Running Back: Theo Riddick (42%), LeGarrette Blount (42%) Zach Zenner (27%)

Wide Receiver: Kenny Golladay (83%), Andy Jones (62%), T.J. Jones (53%), Bruce Ellington (45%)

We don't yet know if Kerryon Johnson will be able to come back this week. At this point, you should plan for the possibility of him not playing and consider using Zach Zenner. Zenner had 12 carries for 54 yards and a score, all of which came in the second half as the Lions were looking to put the Cardinals on ice. He was on the field for 27% of the teams snaps, a season high. He could blow past that number this week if he's given the start.

Green Bay Packers - Jones' Time

Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers (98%)

Running Backs: Aaron Jones (65%), Jamaal Williams (37%)

Wide Receivers: Davante Adams (86%), Randall Cobb (68%), Equanimeous St. Brown (52%), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (46%)

Tight Ends: Jimmy Graham (72%), Lance Kendricks (26%), Marcedes Lewis (25%), Robert Tonyan (11%)

After a slow start, interim head coach Joe Philbin finally saw the light and fed the ball to his best running back, Aaron Jones. Jones' 29-yard rushing score with just under six minutes left in the third quarter put the game to rest. They'll need him to be at his best this week in a daunting matchup against the Chicago Bears. Even if winning the division is out of the question, the Packers can still work to keep the Bears from getting their hands on the title, however unlikely that may be. That sounds like motivation to me.

Minnesota Vikings - Monday Night
