Offense

— Quarterback Justin Herbert and the starting offensive line — left tackle Rashawn Slater, left guard Zion Johnson, center Will Clapp, right guard Jamaree Salyer and right tackle Trey Pipkins III — played all 58 offensive snaps during Monday night's win.

Allen finished leading the team with eight receptions for 77 yards in the win. Rookie Quentin Johnston played the second-most snaps at 48, while Jalen Guyton played 33 snaps in his first game action since Week 3 of last season. Rookie Derius Davis (eight snaps) and Simi Fehoko (four snaps) rounded out the group.

— Running back Austin Ekeler once again led the position group in snaps with 39, finishing the game with 70 yards from scrimmage. The only other active running back on Monday was Joshua Kelley, who played 20 snaps in the win.
