The Chiefs realize that the strength of the Raider defense is their tough
defensive line. To help slow down the rush and relieve the pressure on Grbac
(#11), Kansas City will run the draw. The Cheifs like to draw out of a "twins"
formation with two receivers on
each side and Anders (#38) as the
single back. Seeing this formation, the Raiders will think pass and come after
Grbac hard.

To make the draw work, the line must sell the pass action, while pushing the
rushing defensive ends to the outside. As the ball is snapped, Jenkins
(#74) the
right tackle, will allow the defensive end to penetrate to the outside and then
seal him off. Meanwhile, Shields (#68) the right guard will seal the defensive
tackle to the left creating an opening for Anders (#38). The lone defensive
players in
Anders' way will be the middle linebacker, who the Chiefs are hoping will drop
back into pass coverage. That way, even if he makes the tackle, the play
is good
for at least 6 yards.
