Sending a second TB in the slot is not uncommon.

That incorporates jet sweep threats that have revived principles from older offenses. It's not a base offense but it's definitely still a part of some offenses. And I recall Ohio State bringing the slot receiver into the backfield pre-snap. ND also did some of this at times.

As to two back sets generally, going from 2017, the 13-3 runner-up Patriots ran about 35-40 percent of their offense in two-back sets. (Edit: I think that figure is right but that in 2018 it dropped to closer to a quarter of plays, while they were second behind the 49ers.) Of course so did the 6-10 49ers. The teams with the next most plays out of two-back sets appeared to be the 9-7 Wild Card Bills, 10-6 Wild Card Falcons, 5-11 Bears, and 11-5 Saints.
