I did. And the most successful offenses have been against that defense were plays within 5 yards of the LOS. When you throw sideline to sideline your defense focuses a little less directly center and a little more spread out. Jalen Carter was dominating the man in front of him pushing the pocket back. Mahomes had no pocket to step up. Just so you know, when this occurred to Brees against he Rams with Aaron Donald, Payton put an additional blocker at fullback that would run up and assist the interior Oline so Kamara would run the flat still instead of blocking and Thomas was running slants.
I've also watched every Chiefs game this year including the last 4 years and this play calling was wildly different then just about any other game over the last 3 years. Often the Chiefs would heavily throw to the flats within the first 2 series. They didn't do that this game at all till the 4th quarter.
Jones was playing injured. Mahomes didn't have a pocket to step into. But even then he still had about 2 seconds to throw the ball before the EDGE's turned the corner which is enough time for passes within 5 yards of the LOS, but not enough time for passes 10+ yards out.
