No.
I actually talked about it yesterday. As it's been explained, the Chiefs passing offense, for their bread and butter plays, isn't really that complicated for a defense to defend. Or a better way to put it, teams are figuring out HOW to defend it.
Teams have figured out that, despite the motion and the window dressing etc, the receivers generally end up in the same places. It's not always the same receiver, but there's generally guys in the same general places. So defenders are being told to not bother biting on fakes, following the dressing etc. To not even pay attention to the Chiefs pre-snap. Just stay in your zone. Stay in these specific areas for these specific plays. They're not biting like they use to.
And that's why the Chiefs have been getting slowed down by zone defenses.
