Whenever the Chiefs wanted to run, it felt like the Pats were ready for it. When we had to throw, the Pats would show run and then drop 8 into coverage.
It was the Patriots who created this blueprint. The rest of the league just tried copying it with varying degrees of success.

Sure, but what happened since 2018 that also could have caused this?
Morse left, the guards sucked and the tackles got dinged up and older. The Pats did it in 2018 in the regular season and AFC champ game somewhat.
The Chiefs offense definitely has to continue to evolve as I think teams have enough tendencies to know against Andy's offense now.
But when you can't run the whole offense because of the OL, I just don't know what else you can do.
