Genard Avery played the fewest snaps of all the Eagles defensive ends on Sunday night.
He played just 16 snaps but finished with 1 sack, 1 TFL and led the team with 5 quarterback hits. He had a QB hit just about every three plays.
Here’s how the DE rotation broke down in the Eagles 25-20 win at the Niners:
Brandon Graham: 56 snaps (77%) — 1 QB hit
Derek Barnett: 43 snaps (59%) — 4 tackles, 1/2 sack, 2 QB hits
Josh Sweat: 27 snaps (37%) — 2 tackles, 1 sack, 1 QB hit, 1 TFL
Genard Avery: 16 snaps (22%) — 1 sacks, 1 TFL, 5 QB hits
Jim Schwartz on Genard Avery: "That was the breakout game we've been waiting for."
