You mix and match those two approaches, eliminate turnovers, and you win games big.

Eventually you force teams to abandon the 2 deep look, and you get your one on one shots downfield.

But until then, this is what people will do every single week forever, or until Mahomes and Reid show they can beat it.

It's pretty simple, really.

Power running+ quick passing+ Reid's patented jet sweep/pitch-pass sweep stuff. Slants. little quick crosses in the middle. Make them pay. don't fumble, don't throw INT's. Eat them alive.

There is no other way to beat that defense. That's how you do it. You have to be disciplined. It's irritating, it's frustrating, and it plays on denying you want you WANT to do. Are you mature enough to beat it?

Get the ball into a WR's hands fast and block for him. Take 7-8 yards and be happy.
