Sometimes a team will have a huge rushing or passing quarter, then boom, Spags takes it all away from them. The other team tries to adjust on the fly, but it’s just too late. Just my two cents.

The Chiefs tend to zig when people expect them to zag.
I wonder if the Chiefs don’t play Barkley more honestly than we expect and just make life hell for Hurts.
Selling out against the run does make you more prone to house call runs when dynamic backs get past the first level. Look no further than Damien Williams at the end of the first 49er Super Bowl.
We know Barkley will get his, so I wonder if Spags doesn’t concede that a bit to make sure Hurts doesn’t have it easy. Even dominant backs will put you in third and long eventually.
I’d hate to see so much attention on Barkley that Hurts gets to be comfortable. The Eagles may even be planning to take a few deep shots early in anticipation of 11 guys having eyes on Barkley.
