football is still football, and the principles that have stood for decades still apply.
If you can make an offense one dimensional, it's easier to defend.
Period.
If you can force a defense to play both run and pass, and defend every blade of grass, your chances of winning are much greater than if you're predictable.
It's that simple. No matter who you have at QB, this is all still true.
The Chiefs have decided that teams will not run on them, and that puts immense pressure on the opposing offense, as KC is going to score a lot. Pretty soon, they will have to abandon the run, which makes the defense's job easier.
