In the aftermath of Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots, many facets of the way things unfolded were put into question. Among those topics subsequently being discussed concerned the playing time distribution at the wide receiver position and who was playing when.
By and large, it was second-year former second-round pick James Washington who got the short end of the stick in the season opener. In spite of the fact that he played extensively as a rookie last year, only current rookie Diontae Johnson and depth veteran Johnny Holton saw more snaps at wide receiver than did Washington.
