Yup.
The TD to Pringle was an excellent example of the defense biting up hard on the play fake.
And he bit hard not because they "feared" the run, but because we had been taking the underneath stuff all night in all sorts of various forms.
Now, it's not any different than what the Chiefs have been doing all year. The difference is the Raiders defense didn't stay disciplined, which is required to for the "Mahomes Treatment" plan to work.
