The Associated Press observed more than 130 players around the NFL kneeling or sitting during the national anthem in the league’s first nine games on Sunday morning and early afternoon.

The highest total was 35 protesters at the Denver at Buffalo game, while no one sat or knelt at the Pittsburgh at Chicago game, although the Steelers stayed in the tunnel.

Here’s a breakdown at each game, as observed by AP reporters:

– Cleveland Browns at Indianapolis Colts: About 24.

– New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles: At least three (and three other players raising their fists).
