Steelers Week 11 snap counts: Chris Boswell shines, Mike Williams is WR4

You can learn a lot about the 2024 Steelers from the team’s snap counts.

Welcome back to Steelers snap counts following a Week 11 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Steelers Week 11 snap count takeaways

• Mike Williams was the WR4 in terms of snap counts, playing 31% of offensive snaps, less than George Pickens, Van Jefferson, and Calvin Austin III.
• Pickens jumped from 79% of snaps last week to 88% this week.
• Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth were almost even in terms of playing time, with Washington playing just one more snap on offense than Freiermuth.
• After splitting snaps evenly last week, Jaylen Warren had 18 less snaps than Najee Harris — likely due to his injury entering the week.
• Ben Skowronek saw a sizable increase in offensive snaps this week, going from just five (7%) last week to 19 against the Ravens (26%).
• For those keeping track at home, Justin Fields had three offensive snaps on Sunday, while victory formation Minkah Fitzpatrick had two.
• On defense, Nick Herbig played 81% of snaps to Preston Smith’s 30%. Herbig was expected to start, but that’s a slightly bigger gap than expected.
• Defensive lineman Dean Lowry jumped up to 28% of defensive snaps this week after playing just 2% against the Commanders. Isaiahh Loudermilk also rose from 12% last week to 28% against Baltimore. Meanwhile, Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton saw decreases in playing time — the Steelers were rotating the defensive line a lot against the Ravens.
• Elandon Roberts out-snapped Payton Wilson for another week at inside linebacker (46% to 37%), but both skillsets were needed to stop the Ravens’ offense.
• Beanie Bishop Jr. and Cam Sutton both saw a slight decrease in snaps against Baltimore, but Sutton didn’t eat into the rookie’s playing time much for another week (against the Ravens: Sutton 28%, Bishop 50%; against the Commanders: Sutton 31%, Bishop 56%).
• The Steelers’ offense to defense ratio for snaps this week: 74:54.

Making the most of it award

It’s a boring choice this week, but my hand was forced. Chris Boswell played just 13 total snaps against the Ravens but scored every single Steelers point. He had more points than plays! It had to be him.

Now, here’s a full look at the Steelers snap counts from Week 11’s win over the Baltimore Ravens.
