The play at 39 seconds was a play action pass against 8 in the box.  That was a play that Hogan made a living out of, and basically rode to a PER of over 170 in 2015.  Unfortunately, starting in 2016 we have not had QB's who could sell the play fake.  Costello (even in 2018 when he had a decent season) would go through the motions, but it was pretty obvious it was a pass play.  And then last year we didn't have a running back who would pull 8 into the box anyways.
