Correct.
The Raiders didn't come up because they were afraid of the run. They came up because Hardman and Hill were beating them on crossers and Kelce was abusing them underneath.
And frankly, they still didn't come up that much or that often - Abrams is just awful.
This isn't a team that 'conventional wisdom' will work well in analyzing. And ultimately that's a very very good thing.
