Examining the Vikings' snap counts on both sides of the ball against Kansas City.
The Vikings lost another gut-wrenching one-score game this past weekend, falling 27-20 against the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs. Like the three losses before this one, the Vikings had opportunities to emerge victorious but made too many self-inflicted mistakes and not enough plays. Now they're a 1-4 team that will be without Justin Jefferson for at least four games, starting this weekend in Chicago.
Mattison out-snapped Akers once again, but the gap closed a bit and Mattison didn't help his case by dropping a wide-open screen pass in the fourth.Davenport went from playing 62.5 percent of the snaps last weekend to playing just shy of 79 percent in this game. The Vikings need the impact he provides against both the run and pass alongside Hunter. Bullard also saw his playing time hit a season-high, which is a reflection of how well he's been playing.
Evans got banged up in this game, which led to Blackmon playing more than he has in any other game. Evans has a contusion, so his status is one to watch this week ahead of the Bears game. Booth also got on the field for his first defensive snaps of the season. Lowry has played better in a smaller role over the past two weeks after struggling in a starter-level role in September. Roy only saw four snaps after seeing 26 over the two previous games. That number could bounce back up this Sunday.
