Run stopping

[Sled21]

Not as good today as it was against the Titans. Is it because we are better at stopping power runners like Henry and not faster runners like we faced today?

I think the scheme was a lot different.  Deeper zones, LBs further from the line of scrimmage. Ends spread out to rush passer.  Sometimes only 3 rushed.  Against Tennessee it looked like we had 4-6 guys (including LBs and safeties; Hilton was run blitzing sometimes, too) on the line a lot.

Yeah, I guess it comes down to Lou respect Mahomes more than Tannehill

Yes it was the Mahomes/franchise gunslinger effect. You absolutely have to take away the pass and ask them to run it at you and that's what they did.
