The Chase TD at the end of the game essentially turned into man coverage. The safety on his side of the field played down and respected the run/short pass to the TE, the safety on the other side was late coming over. 

Agree completely and have been saying this all summer. If a team is built to run or even split then the analytics may support this theory.

But when a team has a QB and 3 WR's that are studs and you can make the defense respect the run, it's turn out the lights the party's is over.  

They can't stop everything.
