Falcons snap counts from a deflating loss to the 49ers

The Falcons needed a superlative effort to beat the 49ers and didn’t come close to getting one. Can the snap counts help to tell us why?

No, not really. We’ll still dive into them because there are worthwhile notes, but the Falcons did not lose because they let Feleipe Franks play a single snap. I think, anyways.

Offense

Jalen Mayfield: 60

Kaleb McGary: 60

Matt Ryan: 59

Jake Matthews: 59

Matt Hennessy: 59

Chris Lindstrom: 59

Kyle Pitts: 49

Russell Gage: 48

Olamide Zaccheaus: 37

Cordarrelle Patterson: 37

Tajae Sharpe: 33

Mike Davis: 27

Hayden Hurst: 25

Keith Smith: 17

Lee Smith: 13

Christian Blake: 7

Colby Gossett: 4

Qadree Ollison: 3

Frank Darby: 1

Jason Spriggs: 1

Drew Dalman: 1

Feleipe Franks: 1

The Falcons rolled with three receivers more frequently than they have in weeks in an effort to gin up a passing game, and Cordarrelle Patterson presumably out-snapped Mike Davis as part of that effort.
