Snap Counts, Notable PFF Grades From Chiefs' Week 1 Loss

Chiefs Offensive Snap Counts vs Chargers (Out of 61)

Quarterback

• QB Patrick Mahomes: 61

Offensive Line

• LT Josh Simmons: 66

• LG Kingsley Suamataia: 61

• C Creed Humphrey: 61

• RG Trey Smith: 61

• RT Jawaan Taylor: 61

Wide Receiver

• WR Hollywood Brown: 57, WR Juju Smith-Schuster: 49, WR Tyquan Thornton: 44, WR Jason Brownlee: 6

Tight End

• TE Travis Kelce: 51, TE Noah Gray: 25, TE Robert Tonyan: 5

Running Back

• RB Isiah Pacheco: 31, Kareem Hunt: 23, RB Brashard Smith: 8

What stands out here the most is that head coach Andy Reid wanted to keep Patrick Mahomes with a majority of his starting offensive line. Jawaan Taylor got caught in foul trouble, and Josh Simmons had rookie woes, but Coach Reid stayed the course until his hand was forced.

Another thing that stands out is the amount of wide receiver usage for the Chiefs. Knowing that Xavier Worthy is sidelined with an injury and Rashee Rice is suspended until Week 7 of the campaign, some would expect to see more snaps out of the wide receivers who did play a majority of the game.
