Arizona Cardinals at Philadelphia Eagles
The Cardinals average a league-high 71.5 plays and allow the seventh -most (65.7). They just gave up 79 snaps to the 49ers, who averaged 58.7 coming into the game. While the overtime period boosted snap counts, Arizona’s pass-heavy approach and third-highest-graded run defense consistently contribute to elevated play volume. The Cardinals pass at the second highest rate in neutral situations (one-score game) and opponents throw at the eighth highest rate against them. Unsurprisingly, their games average the most combined plays.
