One of the joys of beginning another Kansas City Chiefs season is seeing the new offensive wrinkles head coach Andy Reid shows us. He loves to come out firing before laying back on his best calls — and then peaking in the playoffs. Historically, these new tricks and play-calling gadgets have allowed Reid’s teams to be dominant in September.
Let’s examine two new wrinkles we saw in Thursday’s season-opening 27-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
1. Sidecar motion with the running back
I saw the 49ers use this weird RB motion last year with CMC, and we saw Reid do it this week, weirdly from Under Center.
