That's not to say that there were no new looks, but there's always new window dressing for what are Andy's fundamental concepts.
But arguing that there was some big change in philosophy is wrong. They just flat played better, and took what the defense gave them and didn't shoot themselves in the foot.

Just different players in different roles. We haven't run near as many short horizontal crossers as we did yesterday that were the #1 if not only read and the others were ready to block. That was a change. Also, the passes to Pacheco weren't the the outlet or checkdown, they appeared to be the primary. Maybe Andy was force feeding Mahomes a bit so we could see the offense function better taking these easy gains. We also executed much better and the receivers looked much sharper after the catch as well.
