NFL Box Score Breakdown: Snaps, Routes & Personnel Usage from the Wild-Card Round

Make sure to keep up with NFL breaking news and updates to NFL projections and injury reports throughout the week. If you're looking for target and air-yard shares that only include active games, you can find those updated every Tuesday on RotoWire's advanced receiving stats page. The percentages found below in our advanced box scores include all games, even if the player didn't participate. 

Stat Table Key

• Snap% = % of team snaps that player was on the field for
• Route% = route share (routes run  |  QB dropbacks)
• RUSHING = rushing line
• RECEIVE = receiving line
• Tgt = targets
• AY = Air Yards

The final five columns of each stat table below (written in italics) show numbers for the entire season. Bold lettering denotes especially strong marks relative to positional standards. Green lettering for the weekly stats denotes considerable increases in playing time and/or usage relative to past weeks. Red lettering denotes the opposite — a decreased role relative to prior games.

Rams (34) at Panthers (31) 

Rams Personnel: 11 - 60%  |  12 - 8%  |  13 - 32%

72 Plays — 43 DBs — 11.7 aDOT — 24-of-42 for 304 yards — 3 TD, 1 INT, 1 sacks, 0 scrambles

• WR Davante Adams handled a 79% route share, 13 targets and 195 yards in his first game back from a hamstring injury. 
• The split between Kyren Williams and Blake Corum didn't change, with Williams having a slight advantage in carries and much bigger advantage for snaps/routes.
• The Rams used 11 personnel on 60% of snaps, compared to 13 personnel on 32% of snaps.
  • TEs Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee both finished around 50% route share, with three targets apiece. Parkinson had the slight edge for playing time and production, which puts him slightly ahead of Higbee for divisional round rankings.

Panthers Personnel: 11 - 64%  |  12 - 19%    

64 Plays — 44 DBs — 9.4 aDOT — 21-of-40 for 264 yards — 1 TD, 1 INT, 2 sacks, 2 scrambles

• WR Jalen Coker was the big story for Carolina, putting up 9-134-1 on 12 targets after a strong finish to the regular season.
• RB Rico Dowdle, meanwhile, fell back into his early season role for the first time since... the beginning of the season. He played just 36% of snaps and took six touches for 15 yards, while Chuba Hubbard took 15 touches for 59 yards and two TDs on 61% of snaps.
  • Dowdle is an impending free agent, while Hubbard, Trevor Etienne and Jonathon Brooks have multiple seasons remaining on their respective deals.

Packers (27) at Bears (31) 

Packers Personnel: 11 - 74%  |  12 - 14%   

70 Plays — 48 DBs — 10.3 aDOT — 24-of-46 for 323 yards — 4 TD, 0 INT, 1 sack, 1 scramble

• WR Matthew Golden was a pleasant surprise for Green Bay, putting up 4-84-1 on 51% route share on an afternoon when each of the top four WRs scored a TD and had at least five targets.
  • Doubs is scheduled for free agency, FWIW, and this was with Dontayvion Wicks, Savion Williams and Bo Melton sidelined by injuries. Green Bay's receiving corps could look quite different next year.
• RB Josh Jacobs took 22 of 25 RB opportunities on a 63% snap share. He has two years remaining on his contract, but no guaranteed money. He's scheduled for a $10.2 million base salary in 2026 and $12.2 million base salary in 2027, with around $1.3 million each season in workout/roster bonuses.

Bears Personnel: 11 - 57%  |  12 - 23%  |  13 - 14%

77 Plays — 52 DBs — 10.7 aDOT — 24-of-48 for 361 yards — 2 TD, 2 INT, 1 sack, 3 scrambles

• TE Colston Loveland was the star for Chicago's passing game again, easily leading the team in targets, air yards and receiving yards, with a team-high-tying 86% route share (the same as DJ Moore).
  • Loveland is all but locked in as TE3 for 2026 ADP. He's ripped off three straight games with double-digit targets and 20-plus PPR points, three months before his 22nd birthday.
    • What was Tyler Warren doing three months before his 22nd birthday? Resting up after a grueling, 34-catch season at Penn State.
• WR Rome Odunze handled a 70% snap share, 71% route share and six targets in his first game back from a foot injury. He was quiet for most of the game until his crucial fourth-down conversion with 5-6 minutes remaining.
• WR Olamide Zaccheaus caught a TD but didn't play much otherwise, with each of Odunze, Moore and Luther Burden running routes on at least two-thirds of QB dropbacks.

Bills (27) at Jaguars (24) 

Bills Personnel: 11 - 63%  |  12 - 13%    

62 Plays — 38 DBs — 7.4 aDOT — 28-of-35 for 273 yards — 1 TD, 0 INT, 1 sack, 2 scrambles

• RB Ray Davis played 32% of snaps in the absence of Ty Johnson (ankle), but Davis' only touches came on special teams, where his main contribution was a lost fumble on a kickoff.
• RB James Cook took 60% of snaps and 18 of 19 RB opportunities. He didn't find much room to run, but it's clear he'll get whatever RB carries exist. That said, Josh Allen tends to account for larger-than-usual portion of Buffalo's offense during the playoffs.
• WR Gabe Davis suffered an ACL tear with 10:47 remaining in the fourth quarter. After that, WR Tyrell Shavers played a team 87% of snaps, but it turns out Shavers also suffered an ACL tear at some point, leaving the Bills with Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks and Keon Coleman as the only healthy WRs on the active roster.
  • WR Curtis Samuel (elbow) was designated Tuesday to return from injured reserve. He missed the past eight games, with no public discussion of a return until Tuesday (after Davis and Shavers were confirmed to have season-ending injuries).
• TE Dalton Kincaid was spotted in a walking boot after the game. He played deep into the fourth quarter, with no obvious sign of injury.

Jaguars Personnel: 11 - 70%  |  12 - 20%  |  

54 Plays — 33 DBs — 9.5 aDOT — 18-of-30 for 207 yards — 3 TD, 2 INT, 1 sacks, 2 scrambles

• RB Travis Etienne took 56% of snaps and 15 of 21 RB opportunities, finishing with 116 total yards and a TD.
  • Bhayshul Tuten took four carries for 51 yards in the first half, playing eight snaps (30%). He also played eight snaps (29%) in the second half, yet somehow didn't get a carry or target.
    • Etienne, on the other hand, had seven carries and two targets in the second half, after three carries and three targets in the first half. It was odd usage in real time / for non-fantasy purposes, but the overall shares were in line with numbers from Jacksonville's other recent games with both Etienne and Tuten healthy.
• WR Parker Washington led the team in targets, receiving yards and air yards, despite missing a chunk of the first half to be evaluated for a concussion.
  • WR Brian Thomas scored a TD, but he and Jakobi Meyers combined for just 33 yards on six targets, with TE Brenton Strange adding two yards on his five targets. Nearly all of Trevor Lawrence's yardage came on throws to Washington and Etienne.

49ers (23) at Eagles (19) 

49ers Personnel: 11 - 45%  |  12 - 7%  |  21  - 28%  |  22 - 21%

58 Plays — 37 DBs — 8.7 aDOT — 19-of-32 for 291 yards — 3 TD, 2 INT, 1 sack, 4 scrambles

• RB Christian McCaffrey took 88% of snaps and all 23 RB opportunities, with Brian Robinson playing seven snaps (12%) but not getting a single touch.
• TE George Kittle tore his Achilles on San Francisco's first play of the second quarter. 
  • Jake Tonges played 94% of snaps from that point forward.
• WR Demarcus Robinson put up 6-111-1 on seven targets and 76% route share, while San Francisco's other WRs combined for just one reception (a 45-yarder by Jauan Jennings, whose 91% route share was a team high).

Eagles Personnel: 11 - 76%  |  12 - 19%  |  

72 Plays — 37 DBs — 8.2 aDOT — 20-of-35 for 168 yards — 1 TD, 0 INT, 1 sack, 1 scramble

Chargers (3) at Patriots (16) 

Chargers Personnel: 11 - 56%  |  21 - 10%  |  10 - 15%

59 Plays — 44 DBs — 8.1 aDOT — 19-of-31 for 159 yards — 0 TD, 0 INT, 6 sacks, 7 scrambles

• The Chargers fired OC Greg Roman on Tuesday. 
• RB Omarion Hampton played just two snaps, both in the first half, taking one carry for a loss of one yard. He'll now have the entire offseason to get healthy.
• The Chargers went four-wide on 15% of snaps, which is part of why TE Oronde Gadsden dipped below 50% for both snap and route share.

Patriots Personnel: 11 - 42%  |  12 - 8%  |  22 - 36%

64 Plays — 40 DBs — 8 aDOT — 17-of-30 for 268 yards — 1 TD, 1 INT, 5 sacks, 5 scrambles

• RB Rhamondre Stevenson had a clear workload advantage over TreVeyon Henderson until Henderson took all four carries on the final two drives.
  • Before those last two drives, Stevenson handled 70% of snaps and 14 of 20 RB opportunities (20%), with a 10-5 advantage in carries and a 4-1 advantage in targets.
  • Stevenson was also the nominal starter, FWIW.
• WR Stefon Diggs tied a season high with 89% route share, though his snap share was just 63%.
  • Kayshon Boutte was easily second among the WRs in snap/route share, with DeMario Douglas in third for routes (51%) but playing the same number of snaps (33%) as Kyle Williams.

Texans (30) at Steelers (6) 

Texans Personnel: 11 - 65%  |  6OL - 30%

66 Plays — 35 DBs — 8.6 aDOT — 21-of-32 for 250 yards — 1 TD, 1 INT, 3 sacks, 0 scrambles

• WR Nico Collins suffered a concussion in the third quarter.
  • Depth receiver Justin Watson also was concussed in the third quarter.
  • Xavier Hutchinson and Jayden Higgins took on more snaps throughout the fourth quarter, but that doesn't mean a ton given that Houston was sitting on a lead.
• WR Christian Kirk erupted for 8-144-1 while leading the team in targets and air yards, with his 66% route share being significantly higher than his late-season norm.
• RB Nick Chubb got six of his 10 carries on the game-clinching drive that ended with a 13-yard TD by Woody Marks with 3:30 remaining. Marks also had three carries on the drive.
  • Before that last drive, Marks had a 16-4 advantage in carries, with 17 of 21 RB opportunities (81%) on 75% snap share.

Steelers Personnel: 11 - 66%  |  12 - 18%  |  6OL - 11%

56 Plays — 38 DBs — 9.4 aDOT — 18-of-34 for 148 yards — 0 TD, 1 INT, 4 sacks, 0 scrambles

• Houston's dominant defense completely shut down the Steelers, with nobody on the team recording even 50 yards from scrimmage. Playing-time shares were about as expected, with Adam Thielen losing a lot of snaps due to DK Metcalf's return.
