Instead he broke contain and went for the RB leaving a gaping hole that led KC to a first and then a victory. He's bit on fakes all year. Needs to work on that discipline.
It's easy to say this but of what makes KC's offense so good is misdirection like this. It's not like they're running RPOs all day. The keep these tricks in their bag for critical moments. Just like the game-winning TD pass too. The disguised it with common pre-snap motion they use all the time, and them bam, they sprinkle in something different. They reasons these plays work is because they're preying on defensive players falling for patterns. So much of being a good defensive player is recognizing patterns and trends to help anticipate what's going to happen.
He definitely got burned, but it's hard to fault him imo.
