Offensive takeaways
In a typical Chiefs sport underneath head coach Andy Reid, the offense passes the ball about 60% of the time. In Week 2 in opposition to the Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas Metropolis handed on 47% of its performs. On “Sunday Evening Soccer” — with beginning working again Isiah Pacheco changed by undrafted rookie Carson Steele — the Chiefs nonetheless handed the ball lower than regular. 53% of the offensive snaps have been passes.
With Pacecho out, Steele was in for 64% of the offensive snaps. His use was weighted towards working performs. This season, Pacheco’s use has sometimes been larger — starting from 70% to 80% — and extra equally distributed between passing and passing performs. This was in distinction to final season, when Pacheo’s snaps leaned considerably towards working performs in most video games. In Sunday’s sport, Samaje Perine made up the distinction in each offensive snaps and passing performs.
Tight finish Travis Kelce’s snaps have been down a bit from the primary two weeks of the season — but it surely wasn’t as a result of the crew was giving him time without work. Noah Grey’s offensive snaps have been down by a like quantity, whereas Jared Wiley’s percentages remained regular. The Chiefs merely favored tight ends rather less in Sunday’s sport.
This meant that broad receivers (as a gaggle) bought a bit extra work than they’ve been seeing. Nonetheless, most of them noticed their use drop barely — apart from JuJu Smith-Schuster, whose use jumped to 55% of the offensive snaps. That was greater than twice what now we have seen from him within the season’s first two weeks.

Defensive takeaways
We continued to see Justin Reid, Bryan Prepare dinner, Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson be the secondary’s prime defenders, showing in just about each defensive snap.
Linebacker Nick Bolton is generally in that group, however he left the sphere for a sequence of performs after being shaken up halfway by means of the fourth quarter. Drue Tranquill picked up the slack. Leo Chenal had his lowest utilization of the season — simply 23% of the full defensive snaps — however that was largely as a result of the Chiefs opted to lean away from their linebackers in opposition to the Falcons. They averaged 2.05 on the sphere for each play — down from 2.45 in Week 1.
Nazeeh Johnson now seems to have taken over the third cornerback function beforehand stuffed by Joshua Williams. In Week 1, Johnson performed solely on particular groups, whereas Williams performed 41% of the defensive snaps. Now these tables have been turned. For the primary time this season, Williams’ use was restricted to particular groups, whereas Johnson was in for — you guessed it — 41% of the defensive snaps. Whereas the crew continues to record him as a security, he’s getting used nearly completely as a nook — largely in passing conditions — and continues to get important use on particular groups.
On Sunday, Chamarri Conner had his largest use of the season, taking part in 80% of the defensive snaps. Whereas the crew continues to record him as a defensive again, he’s getting used everywhere in the area. In defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s scheme, that makes him a participant within the mould of former Kansas Metropolis security Tyrann Mathieu. Henceforth, our Chiefs roster web page will now record Johnson as a cornerback and Conner as a security.
