Chiefs' snap counts from Week 6 trend reveal troubling truth about defensive line

Deciphering too much from a single game's snap counts can be a misleading effort. It's impossible to discern completely what a coaching staff is wanting to see, to emphasize, to protect while deciding which players will get snaps and which will not. That said, snap counts point to larger patterns and offer up telling displays on which players are trusted (or not). That's certainly true when looking at snap counts from the Kansas City Chiefs' dominant win over the Detroit Lions in Week 6. Here are some interesting (and disturbing) trends when looking at the Lions-Chiefs results from Sunday Night Football. The Chiefs allowed Chris Jones to play 81 percent of all defensive snaps on Sunday against the Lions. On the flip side, Omarr Norman-Lott only played 11 total snaps (or 20 percent). Tha's not sustainable for the Chiefs over the long haul. While that's not a complete overlap, where one automatically subs for the other, the truth is that the Chiefs need to allow Jones to get more rest during the regular season
