I believe Buffalo played lots of man during the last meeting but that was before Hollywood Brown entered the lineup. With their injuries in the secondary, they're unlikely to try the same strategy.
Also, Reid/Spags aren't the only coaches who may be holding back plays in the regular season. I'm sure Buffalo's coaches have several new wrinkles as well they were saving in their packages and play designs.

I'm not sure "Mahomes had time" is true at all. The Steelers game was Mahomes' fastest time to release ever in his entire career.
