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're usually on point here with your takes. I saw today where they broke down the difference in last years playoff game and the game Sunday...and that in the playoff game there was always either Leo or Gay spying...
EVERY DOWN
And then we'd play zone and force Allen to hold the ball.
We actually played zone perfectly on that run play he had, but did not have a spy.
However....they pointed out that Chris Jones and George lost contain on their gaps...most especially JONES DID...and this opened up that gap for Allen to run through.
Andy confirmed this was a breakdown in discipline by the d-line.
So there may be some stuff we held back, but for the stuff we did do, we had some breakdowns.
