Samaje Perine News: Modest downturn in usage

Perine had seven carries for 31 yards in Thursday night's win over the Steelers. He played 27 offensive snaps, which accounted for 38 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps.

Perine had registered 47 percent of the offensive snaps over the two previous games, but teammate Chase Brown was running so effectively against the Steelers that it made less sense to replace him with Perine.
