I don't really pay attention to interviews but if he knew about it and said he knew the Chiefs knew about it, then it would make sense that no one had figured out how to properly defend it until yesterday?

The story seems to be thinking that there was a tell for the Bills using it. Either that they will use it and/or how exactly they would. And I think if the broadcasters are able to accurately predict when a team would use a particular play, then the team needs to do more to disguise it.

I like how the Ravens use a TE to do the play instead of the quarterback.
I didn't watch much of the Bills-Chiefs game so didn't hear what promo said about the Bills play, but isn't the formation a pretty obvious tell for any team running this play? It's obvious when the Eagles are doing it, but they are still successful most of the time.
