Tony Jefferson, Jerraud Powers go the distance on defense for Arizona Cardinals in Week 16

The Arizona Cardinals had 72 defensive snaps on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. When normally they have a handful of players who never leave the field, only two went the distance -- safety Tony Jefferson and cornerback Jerraud Powers.

Let's look at the defensive snap count for the Cardinals in Week 16.

Defensive backs: Tony Jefferson, 72; Jerraud Powers, 72; Deone Bucannon, 70; Patrick Peterson, 69; D.J. Swearinger, 65; Justin Bethel, 61; Chris Clemons, 8

Clemons played the early Justin Bethel role -- the seventh DB in speed sets. Swearinger is getting significant time on a playoff team after being on the streets. Crazy.

Linebackers: Kevin Minter, 58; Alex Okafor, 44; Markus Golden, 44; Dwight Freeney , 28; Sean Weatherspoon, 14; Kareem Martin, 9; Alani Fua, 3

Freeney did a lot in his 28 snaps -- three sacks, five pressures, two penalties drawn and a forced fumble. Martin had a sack and a forced fumble in his nine snaps.

Defensive line: Calais Campbell, 51; Frostee Rucker, 31; Ed Stinson, 26; Red Bryant, 23; Cory Redding, 22; Rodney Gunter, 21

Lots of guys got good playing time. Notice the veterans Bryant and Redding playing more.
