Part of that is that the Chargers had figured out that damn 'picket fence' thing that focused on PM's general trend towards rolling right and waiting for the defense to break down.

When teams started doing that a bit, we had to get away from the rollouts.

Once we started having more success across the field with Worthy and eventually Brown, they needed to get their rushers upfield and that should allow us to do more of the rollouts.

You know we'll see that rollout and whip route at some point on a 3rd down play. Or we'll show the action and Mahomes will keep it to run for a 1st.
