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.

Right. Everyone wants to go buy into all the advanced metrics and whatnot. And that's fine, but like you said, the principles have not changed. You still have to run the ball and stop the run.
Does everyone forget that 2019 Chiefs defense that shut down Derrick Henry? That was huge in getting that W and advancing to the SB.
