Jaguars Vs. Colts: Week 17 Snap Count Analysis
The Jacksonville Jaguars closed out their 2020 season with a 28-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, finishing 1-15. The game itself told us little about the Jaguars that wasn’t already known. However examining the snap count from the game also shows how depleted the Jaguars were at certain position groups and who stepped up to fill gaps.

- The core of the offensive line stayed the same as it has much of the season—Taylor, Norwell, Shatley and Cann. Cam Robinson and Will Richardson split snaps at tackle due to Robinson suffering a wrist injury.
- There were only four active receivers due to injuries. As such Chris Conley played his second most snaps of the season (he played 86% of the offensive snaps against the Green Bay Packers in Week 10). Rookie Laviska Shenault saw his snap count go slightly down from last week but still contributed well over the majority of the time. Terry Godwin saw his most snaps in his NFL career thus far, with 41 snaps which he turned in to three receptions for 21 yards.
- With James Robinson sidelined due to an ankle injury, Dare Ogunbowale became the Jags every down back against the Colts, playing all but two snaps.
