Focused on 2nd downs to try to get into 3rd down situations that put teams in a tough spot. Seems to be working pretty well thus far.
I also think shuffling around my WRs (getting away from what SHOULD be working in an attempt to find out what WILL) has helped. There's no good reason why Corey Davis should be playing as well as he is, but I'll be damned if he isn't. JuJu has been staggeringly forgettable but Curtis Samuel has played well and Christian Kirk has been good for some big plays.
So with the square peg not fitting into the round hole, I could've looked for a bigger hammer or just tried a few different pegs. Some of the tinkering appears to have paid off.
The squeakers in Lawrence and especially Miami yielded some necessary adjustments. That 2 for 10 on 3rd downs in Miami 'bout cost me a game that I had far too many chances to take control of and ended up needing an interception deep in my own territory up 6 with a minute or so left to finish it off.
