Chiefs snap-count analysis highlights Xavier Worthy’s heavy usage in Week 2 win

Snap-count data from the Kansas City Chiefs’ 33-30 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2 shows wide receiver Xavier Worthy logged the most offensive snaps among receivers, with 69, ahead of Rashee Rice (63) and Tyquan Thornton (47). Worthy also recorded the most run-blocking snaps for the group (22). Despite the high usage, he finished with five receptions for 25 yards, averaging 0.54 yards per route run, compared with 2.39 for Thornton and 2.02 for Rice.

Second-tight end Noah Gray saw an increase in playing time, participating in 40 offensive snaps, up from 38 the week before. He was on the field for 24 blocking assignments and recorded one catch for five yards.

On defense, rookie defensive end R. Mason Thomas appeared on 27 snaps, with only six against the run. He was primarily used as a pass-rush specialist, registering one quarterback pressure. Veteran defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah played slightly more snaps overall but had five fewer pass-rush opportunities, delivering two quarterback hits.

The analysis, compiled using Pro Football Focus data, suggests the Chiefs continue to prioritize a ground-focused game plan while rotating younger players to maximize specific strengths.
