History tells us the alternative was accepting a three and out. The example of slinging across his body is exactly the point... Those are the types of plays mahomes doesn't try when we're up and that to me is a reflection of coaching, not mahomes' mental makeup.

For example... Everyone claims we were right to manage that last drive because of field position and down and distance. If you're in bad field position, the new mentality of this team should be to do everything you can to worsen the chargers field position. Not to burn clock. Not with 3:49 left.I would rather take an INT for trying than take a three and out. At least, I would with the Qb we have. We've got to find the right balance between dialing mahomes back and letting mahomes be mahomes.
Basically, Let Mahomes do Mahomes stuff. He may throw the interception but maybe win the game by himself. The best option we have is to just let Mahomes do his thing.
