The Chiefs' snap counts from their win over the Denver Broncos serve as an intriguing reflection of what went down and what could be coming soon.
The Kansas City Chiefs extended their streak over the Denver Broncos in Week 6, also extending their in-season winning streak to five games after a narrow Week 1 loss.
It was a full-team effort once again for Andy Reid's group on Thursday night, as the offense moved the ball plenty but struggled to punch it into the end zone on several occasions. Kicker Harrison Butker played a massive role in the win, drilling all four of his field goal attempts with one of them being from 60 yards out. For the sixth consecutive week to begin this season, Steve Spagnuolo's defense stepped up and helped contribute to a victory.
On Thursday night, Bolton was on the field for 46 defensive snaps. That was good for 88% of those available for Steve Spagnuolo's unit, with Tranquill logging just 19 defensive reps and an additional seven on special teams. Fourth-year man Willie Gay Jr. has hovered around 70% playing time for three weeks in a row, making it increasingly difficult to envision a world where Tranquill gets a heavy workload moving forward.
In Weeks 1-5, the Kansas State draftee averaged just under 20 snaps per game. On Thursday in Kansas City, he logged just five and didn't register a single statistic. Given the combination of George Karlaftis and Mike Danna ahead of him on the depth chart, as well as the looming introduction of Omenihu to the picture, the rookie might face an uphill battle to garner any added reps.
