I don’t think they were going to roll out ALL their best wrinkles for this matchup.
Take the Bills, for example, busting out the Chargers’ DL games to trick Mahomes into a scramble that is cleaned up by a spy.
They’ve tipped that hand. That very effective tactic is now “out there” and the Chiefs won’t be caught off guard by it again.
Is that worth spending for the Bills in the regular season? Probably, as their only chance to realistically catch KC for the 1 seed is winning this matchup.

You guys talking about saving things for the playoffs are making football seem way harder and complicated than it is. Especially now that we're talking about a DE. Maybe some stunts Spags saves for when he absolutely needs them. But there's no reason at all to save a regular pass rush. "Go try your best to get the quarterback" is not some ultra secret strategy you have to save and that teams in the playoffs will be surprised by.
Especially since we're talking about Uche. He's not close to good enough to save reps for. That just makes no sense. Especially against the Bills.
