They also exposed a tendency of Mahomes - rushing their DEs straight up the field, unconventionally, to try to cut Mahomes off when he tried to bail from the pocket. This worked really well.
I think Bob Sutton, who is a consultant for the Falcons, helped them prep a REALLY good gameplan that they then executed at an extremely high level.
KC didn't adjust well, either. Not enough short routes, though some of that may have been keeping new tricks and concepts in the bag for the playoffs.

Grandpa Bob may have done us a favor. He showed Reid a pretty good blueprint for scheming our offense. Something that had been bubbling since Denver. Andy has had 3 weeks since to fix that which is way too much time. I can't wait to see what he's cooked up. But I feel like opening the LAC game with Henne with two early drives where we screened them to perfection was Reid flexing his nuts. We have no idea what to expect from our offense and that should terrify Cleveland.
