Showing we aren't afraid to throw it deep helps. But it still relied on gimmicks. It's either a gimmick and a short play, or it's a designed deep pass when the defense gets caught cheating. We started the game forcing looks to kelce and the Jets reacted by shutting him down in the second half. We spent the second half focusing on tyreek hill. How will other defenses respond now? I think we dug ourselves out of the basement because it isn't easy to stop Kelce and hill at the same time, but I don't think we've really solved anything until we can run the offense without the gimmicks. We have to consistently establish the intermediate field.
We will find out soon enough when we play the chargers.
