The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens 34-20 during “Monday Night Football” in Week 3. The team had a new leading skill player on offense in terms of snaps and a new player in the secondary leading the way at the cornerback position.

Observations

Mike Remmers had a full helping of snaps in place of Andrew Wylie. He did a good job of getting in there on short notice and matching the preparedness of his teammates.
Sammy Watkins was the lead snap-getter among skill players for the Chiefs this week. His status was in question for the game, but he played throughout. He was a bit tentative at times, getting down instead of fighting for extra yards, after taking that big hit in Week 2.
Mecole Hardman had a big night with less than 50% of the snaps. He seems to always be involved in the gameplan against the Ravens.
Darwin Thompson, who had a costly fumble, played in just six snaps all game. He’ll surely get another opportunity in the future, but he didn’t do himself any favors putting the ball on the ground.
Rashad Fenton led the way in snaps for the cornerback position, playing in 96% of the defensive snaps. He had a nice performance too, not allowing much in coverage and playing physical when coming up to tackle in run defense.
L’Jarius Sneed played in just 22 snaps before exiting the game with an injury.
Tedric Thompson nearly matched his season-high in snaps. He came up and made a big tackle to force three-and-out at a crucial point in the game.
Tershawn Wharton had a season-low with just 11 snaps in Week 3. With Mike Pennel back in the mix, receiving 18 snaps, there weren’t a lot of snaps to go around for the defensive tackle group.
Willie Gay Jr. is slowly but steadily receiving more snaps. After six defensive snaps in Week 2, he played in nine defensive snaps in Week 3. We’ll see if that slight upward trend continues.
Dorian O’Daniel and Armani Watts were the leading snap-getters on special teams with 19 snaps apiece.
