In case you missed it. In the Chiefs vs. Saints game the Chiefs introduced the Pistol formation to the NFL. They didn't just use it for one or two plays, they ran a good majority of their base offense from the Pistol. When they weren't in the Pistol they were in the shotgun going no huddle.
The commentators mentioned the move to the no huddle spread was to take advantage of Tyler Thigpens strengths since he played in that offense in college. Although they didn't win the game it was fun seeing that type of offense being used in the NFL in normal down and distance situations and with the game close throughout.
