The Packers didn't put 5 guys between the tackles. They put 3 guys over the center and guards then had the Smith's linedup outside of the tackles or even sometimes outside of the TE. So I assumie you didn't mean the same configuration, right?
That Packers formation basically created a huge alley outside of the DE but between the LB. When the LB tried to adjust to fill that alley, space was created outside.
Jonnydel does a great job of showing the scheme here:

JT O'Sullivan's QB school did a long breakdown of every run play that's excellent as well.

to clarify-and if you actually bothered to watch KC, you'd see this-
Spags will run a four man line. Mostly. He may walk a 'backer down. If he does, he may or may not be coming. He might just jump back out at the snap.
You may see 3 lb'ers. You might see 2. You might see 1.
We have several players that play several roles. Sorensen may be a nickel type LB, a SS, or a FS, Matthieu a slot CB or a SS, or a FS, and Fuller may be a FS, or slot CB. O'Daniel may be an OLB or a SS. The only guys in the back 7 that are generally what they appear to be on every snap are the outside corners.
in the defensive backfield, we mix and match man and zone looks. We'll show blitz and not; we'll delay blitz when it looked like we were going to sit in coverage.
pre-snap reads and post snap reality are seldom the same thing.
We do similar things on the defensive line. Sometimes you'll see Kpassgnon, a DE, line up inside. Sometimes Jones, a DT, will line up outside. Sometimes you'll see Clark on the right. Sometimes he'll be on the left. They stunt, and cross, and hell, against Tennessee, we saw Kpass ten yards downfield breaking up a pass in the middle of the field to a RB. And T. Suggs still looks like Suggs.
Since this defense got healthy, and the whole group understanding the system, they've been very, very good. A lot of deception.
