Key matchup: Steelers DB Sean Davis vs. Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill

Related Topics: West Coast offense, Tyreek Hill

When Andy Reid took over the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013, he brought the so-called West Coast offense that conceptually places a greater emphasis on passing than running.

Someone tell that to Chiefs rookie Kareem Hunt, who leads the NFL in rushing.

The offensive system, originally devised by Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh when he was an assistant with Cincinnati, features shorter, more horizontal passing routes and high-percentage passes.

Someone tell that to Chiefs multi-purpose receiver Tyreek Hill, who has six touchdowns of at least 68 yards in his past nine games.

Those two players are single-handedly debunking the notion the West Coast offense is supposed to be more conservative and thrive on ball control.
