Less pressure on him. While Mahomes has an underrated supporting cast on passing offense when you look at importance of line, receiver depth and Kelce, the loss of Hill and other teams improving is taking pressure off of him. Even his big contract isn't so big anymore so less pressure from that standpoint as well.
And without Hill, teams probably mix up coverages on KC more often making Mahomes job more interesting. He should be able to take more deep shots down the field with teams playing less cover 2 variants. At least in the short term, it will be easier to keep the receivers happy as well.
