A look at the snaps played by Cowboys’ offensive players in the team’s 20-19 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, while analyzing what it means:

RG Mackenzy Bernadeau: 72 of 72
LG Nate Livings: 72 of 72
QB Tony Romo: 72 of 72
LT Tyron Smith: 72 of 72
TE Jason Witten: 72 of 72
WR Miles Austin: 67 of 72
RB DeMarco Murray: 63 of 72
RT Doug Free: 58 of 72
WR Dez Bryant: 57 of 72
WR Dwayne Harris: 35 of 72
TE John Phillips: 21 of 72
FB Lawrence Vickers: 21 of 72
RT Jermey Parnell: 15 of 72
WR Kevin Ogletree: 13 of 72
TE James Hanna: 11 of 72
RB Felix Jones: 4 of 72
RG Derrick Dockery: 3 of 72
RB Lance Dunbar: 1 of 72

Taylor's Takes: Tackle Jermey Parnell has earned playing time with the starters based on his work in practice and his performance against Cleveland and Washington. He rotated series with Doug Free, serving notice that the right can tackle will get replaced if he doesn’t improve. Jason Garrett said Free played one of his best games. ... Dwayne Harris has usurped Kevin Ogletree. Harris, who had eight passes directed his way, played nearly three times as much as Ogletree, who had a key 23-yard catch in the fourth quarter. ... Felix Jones played only four snaps, his lowest total of the season, while DeMarco Murray had a season-high 63 snaps.
