Creed Humphrey Vows to Stop Recurring Low and Errant Snaps

Humphrey said he will eliminate the snapping errors because a bad snap can force rushed throws and break the Chiefs’ offensive timing.

Overview

  • Creed Humphrey publicly acknowledged the problem and said the errant snaps "need to stop now," signaling he will focus on cleaning up his delivery.
  • Recent on-field examples include botched shotgun snaps in games against Denver and Las Vegas, and a late low snap in Super Bowl LVIII that affected Patrick Mahomes’ play.
  • Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy and head coach Andy Reid have called the errors unintentional and expressed confidence that Humphrey will correct them.
  • Data show Humphrey remains elite at pass protection, allowing the lowest quarterback pressure rate (0.7%) among offensive linemen with 100-plus pass-block snaps this season.
  • Lineup changes could affect timing around Humphrey because Kingsley Suamataia is expected to return next to him while left tackle Josh Simmons continues a slow rehab back to game action.
