Commanders vs. Chiefs OFFENSE Snap Counts: Antonio Gibson vs. Brian Robinson Jr.
The Washington Commanders running back competition is heating up after Saturday's preseason loss against the Kansas City Chiefs.
As soon as third-round rookie Brian Robinson Jr. trotted onto the field with the first-team instead of incumbent starter Antonio Gibson, the competition turned from a small spark to a full-on flame.

Despite not starting, Gibson (19) saw more snaps on offense than Robinson (13). However, the rookie out-carried the third-year vet with eight snaps vs. two.
Gibson saw most of the snaps with Taylor Heinicke and the second-team offense, so the lesser amount of snaps proceeds to tell us that the team is saving Robinson to be the regular-season starter.
