Mahomes will read the end, seeing if he reacts hard to the run action or if he stays to possibly defend the motioned player in the flat. The Chiefs have used a motion from a running back or a player like wide receiver Tyreek Hill into the flat, toward the direction of the unblocked defensive end.

That’s exactly why the Chiefs have been able to succeed with low-investment in their center and guard positions.
