Rub routes and play action pass.
And more roll outs, too.
O'Brien depends on his players to beat the defenders too much.
Leebig is right.
Not enough cover beaters whether the D was in cover 2, 3, 4.
B/c when you get to big boy football in the playoffs, you can't depend on such tricks b/c all those types of things depend on something else in the offense working or clicking just right.
Rub routes only work when you can confuse &/or pick the defenders off...short of getting that, they're not very effective.
Play action only works when the run game is going..shut down the run game, you shut down the play action pass game.
Rolling the pocket too much not only limits the qb (only has half the field to throw to), it moves your qb from his protection.
Your guys have to be able to win their 1 on 1's in the playoffs & if you learned nothing from watching KC who have at least 3 guys on the outside that present serious mismatches & can do that, then you didn't learn anything.
