Offense
The Kansas City playbook has not only some good power running sets but also a surprising number of four-plus WR sets, so you can really pick apart the defense with short passes.
Key Formation
Gun Trips TE is the best formation in the KC playbook. Try saving it for the second half to give your opponent a completely different look. It can light up the scoreboard quickly if you can’t consistently pound the rock.
