Observations from the snap counts:
- Travis Kelce did not record a snap. He had a knee bruise but was active for the game.
- Kendrick Lewis led all players with 71 snaps.
- O-linemen Geoff Schwartz and Jeff Allen played the most offensive snaps.
- Chase Daniel downed the final play so that's his snap.
- Jamaal Charles, who did not play in the fourth quarter, ended up playing 57 percent of the snaps.
- New Chiefs Rob Parker, Dezman Moses, Marcus Cooper and James-Michael Johnson were among the leaders on special teams.
