Chiefs Week 8 snap count analysis: Cyrus Allen sees season-high workload

Following the Kansas City Chiefs' 28-24 defeat against the Denver Broncos in Week 8, rookie wide receiver Cyrus Allen earned an expanded role with 30 offensive snaps. Allen registered two receptions on three targets for 20 yards, out-snapping fellow receivers Jalen Royals and Andrew Armstrong as Rashee Rice saw limited action while managing a hamstring injury.

Rookie running back Emmett Johnson delivered a breakout performance by accumulating 143 total yards from scrimmage and a 73-yard receiving touchdown on just 13 snaps. On defense, rookie cornerback Jadon Canady contributed two third-down stops across seven dime-package snaps following L'Jarius Sneed's placement on the injured reserve list.
