L’Jarius Sneed boasts impressive snap streak without allowing a touchdown entering matchup vs. Eagles

#Chiefs DB L’Jarius Sneed has put together an excellent 2023 season and has tallied more than 320 snaps played without allowing a touchdown.

Defensive back L’Jarius Sneed has put together an impressive streak of more than 320 snaps played without allowing a touchdown heading into the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 11 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

One of the top defenders in the NFL today, Sneed’s steady presence on the Chiefs’ defense has been a huge part of Kansas City’s defensive resurgence in 2023 and should play a key role in the team’s gameplan for its Super Bowl LVII matchup next Monday.

Expect Sneed to play sticky coverage against the Eagles’ exceptionally talented receiving corps, which features the likes of DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown to stretch the field.

Kansas City won’t have any room for error against Philadelphia, which has continued its dominance in the NFC after ending the 2022 season as the conference’s top team. The highly anticipated matchup should give Sneed plenty of opportunities to make an impact after the Chiefs’ Week 10 bye.

Chiefs OL Trey Smith has NFL’s longest snap streak without allowing a sack

#Chiefs OL Trey Smith has the NFL’s longest streak of snaps played without allowing a sack.

Protecting Patrick Mahomes is paramount to the Kansas City Chiefs’ success on offense, and one of the team’s linemen has done a particularly outstanding job of keeping the reigning MVP on his feet.
Third-year guard Trey Smith currently holds the NFL’s longest snap streak without allowing a sack.

Smith’s efforts in pass protection have been the stuff of legend among Chiefs fans who remember how Kansas City’s depleted depth up front arguably cost the team a win in Super Bowl LV.
The Chiefs’ investment in the offensive line has helped keep Kansas City’s air attack afloat since 2021 when the team signed veteran guard Joe Thuney and drafted Smith and center Creed Humphrey.
The talented trio on the interior of the Chiefs’ line has become one of the most recognizable groups in the NFL, and with any luck, will continue to keep Mahomes clean in the pocket for years to come.
