Just took a glance at the snap counts, the following players all played no more than six (6) snaps and most of them played zero:
Offense (12):
Mahomes
Hunt
Pacheco
Kelce
Gray
Worthy
Hopkins
Hollywood
Thuney
Creed
Trey
Jawaan
Defense (8):
George
Danna
Chris
Wharton
Bolton
Drue
McDuffie
Reid
That’s 20 starters and doesn’t even include Jaylen Watson if he returns.
So yeah, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the backups who had nothing to play for got demolished by the one AFC team that HAD to win in order to make the playoffs for the first time in nearly a decade.
We will all be laughing about this after the divisional round.
