SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Coach Kyle Shanahan saw the new wrinkle his former assistant Mike McDaniel added to the Miami offense by putting speedster Tyreek Hill in short motion at the snap and immediately added it to the San Francisco offense. He saw several other teams follow suit as the use of pre-snap motion has been on the rise across the NFL with some of the top offenses in Miami, San Francisco and Kansas City using it the most. No one has done it better than the Dolphins, who have scored 27 of their 31 offensive TDs this season with a player moving at the snap.
