How much did each Kansas City Chiefs player play in Sunday's 34-15 victory over the Miami Dolphins? Glad you asked because we have some snap counts for the game.
The Chiefs snap counts are interesting this week because a few key players were missing, including Jamaal Charles and Eric Berry. You already know I thought Andy Reid did a great job getting the most out of those replacing Charles (Knile Davis and Joe McKnight).
Let's review this week's snap counts.
OFFENSE
| Position | Player | Snaps |
| C | Rodney Hudson | 72 |
| G | Zach Fulton | 72 |
| G | Mike McGlynn | 72 |
| OT | Eric Fisher | 72 |
| OT | Ryan Harris | 72 |
| QB | Alex Smith | 72 |
| TE | Anthony Fasano | 72 |
| WR | Dwayne Bowe | 55 |
| RB | Knile Davis | 53 |
| TE | Travis Kelce | 47 |
| WR | Donnie Avery | 41 |
| WR | Junior Hemingway | 27 |
| FB | Anthony Sherman | 17 |
| RB | Joe McKnight | 15 |
| TE | Demetrius Harris | 13 |
| RB | Cyrus Gray | 8 |
| WR | AJ Jenkins | 6 |
| WR | Frankie Hammond | 4 |
| OT | Jeff Linkenbach | 2 |
- Jamaal Charles and De'Anthony Thomas did not play in this game. Knile Davis had 53 snaps in Jamaal's absence.
- A whopping seven Chiefs played every snap on offense. That leaves only four positions to rotate in and out.
- Joe McKnight had just 15 snaps but touched the ball on seven of those and scored two touchdowns. Not bad at all.
- The tight ends were very interesting in this game with more two tight end sets. Anthony Fasano played every snap in the game. Travis Kelce played 32 and 37 percent of the snaps in the first two weeks of the season so he continues to see more work. Kelce's 47 snaps were good for 65 percent of the offense. Demetrius Harris even got in for a career high 13 snaps.
- Linkenbach came in on a play where the Chiefs went heavy on the offensive line.
DEFENSE
| Position | Player | Snaps |
| CB | Sean Smith | 70 |
| CB | Marcus Cooper | 70 |
| LB | Josh Mauga | 70 |
| S | Husain Abdullah | 70 |
| CB | Ron Parker | 67 |
| LB | Tamba Hali | 65 |
| CB | Chris Owens | 64 |
| LB | Justin Houston | 64 |
| DE | Allen Bailey | 56 |
| NT | Dontari Poe | 53 |
| LB | James Michael-Johnson | 39 |
| S | Kurt Coleman | 28 |
| DT | Vance Walker | 16 |
| DE | Jaye Howard | 13 |
| LB | Dee Ford | 13 |
| LB | Josh Martin | 5 |
| DT | Kevin Vickerson | 4 |
| CB | Phillip Gaines | 3 |
- Eric Berry did not play in the game.
- Only four Chiefs played every snap on defense.
- That nickel CB Chris Owens played nearly every snap showed how often the Dolphins had three receivers on the field.
- Interesting to see Justin Houston, Tamba Hali and Dontari Poe get some rest. They're usually playing close to every snap. The Chiefs are obviously trying to get Poe some rest by playing Vance Walker more often.
- New(-ish) Chief Kurt Coleman went from six snaps last week to 28 this week.
- Curious to see why Kevin Vickerson only had four snaps. I'm guessing it's because he's more of a run stopper and the Dolphins were often in passing downs.
- Vance Walker makes a nice contribution with 16 snaps. Up from eight last week and one the week before.
