Editor’s Note: Arrowhead Pride obtains snap count data from the NFL’s game stats and information system, which allows us to break out snap counts by run or pass on offensive and defensive plays. Because GSIS data ignores plays that were nullified by penalties, total offensive and defensive snap counts will vary from other sources, which get their data from NFL Gamebooks

Offensive takeaways

For the first time all season, the Chiefs ran the ball significantly more often than they passed it. Until Monday, the Chiefs had passed on 60% of its offensive snaps. Against the Bills, they ran the ball on 63% of the snaps.

Starting center Austin Reiter gave way to veteran Daniel Kilgore. Although he had been listed as questionable to play with a back injury, Mitchell Schwartz started at right tackle — but left the game after just eight snaps. Backup offensive lineman Mike Remmers — who had been subbing for injured left guard Kelechi Osemele — then moved to right tackle, while Nick Allegretti game in at left guard. That line — Eric Fisher, Allegretti, Kilgore, Andrew Wylie and Remmers — played the rest of the offensive snaps.

We had expected that second-year wide receiver Mecole Hardman would see more action on offense. But the Chiefs instead opted to put more of the load on Demarcus Robinson, who recorded his highest percentage of offensive snaps this season — as did Byron Pringle. And Marcus Kemp — elevated from the practice squad for the game — even had a couple of offensive snaps. Those were his first of the season.

For the first time all season, the Chiefs had all four of their tight ends active for the game — likely to make up for the absence of fullback Anthony Sherman. But although tight ends were sometimes observed lining up as H-backs, the Chiefs didn’t appear to use their tight ends significantly more (or less) than they typically do when Sherman is playing; as a group, tight ends had 168 offensive snaps — 230% of the total — which means the offense typically had at least two tight ends on the field. That figure is almost identical to those for Week 1 and Week 4 — when Sherman was playing.

Defensive takeaways

The biggest surprise on the defense was the absence of rookie linebacker Willie Gay Jr., who started the last two games at linebacker but had only two defensive snaps in Buffalo. Instead, the Chiefs depended on Anthony Hitchens, Damien Wilson and Ben Niemann at the second level.

Safety Daniel Sorensen was listed as a starting cornerback in a 4-2-5 defensive alignment — and along with Charvarius Ward, Bashaud Breeland, Juan Thornhill and Tyrann Mathieu, he played every one of the defensive snaps. It was the first time all season that the latter four — the secondary’s starters in 2019 — had all been in for every play. As in Week 5, Rashad Fenton was in for about half of the snaps, while Antonio Hamilton was used only on special teams.

Along the defensive line, Frank Clark, Chris Jones and Tanoh Kspassagnon continued to be the every-down mainstays. Alex Okafor’s snaps were limited after left the game with a hamstring injury. Taco Charlton saw a little more use overall — and on passing downs. Derrick Nnadi continued to be used on about half the snaps — primarily against the run — and Mike Pennel continued his transition to an all-purpose reserve tackle.
