Definitely think he has lost a step from 5-6 years ago. Still very, very fast and a hell of a difficult guy to tackle.

Also, did anyone else catch Aaron Schatz complaining midway through the first half about why the Chiefs don't play like this all the time, and save it for the playoffs?

Somebody is sad his system's flaws were shown so clearly.

Yeah, it's a pretty basic thing.

The Chiefs get everyone's best shot every week. They're on TV all the time. This year they dealt with the weird rest deficit stuff.

And Reid has a history of saving some things for the playoffs, as does Mahomes.

Like all other franchises who's skulls now rest clean and comfortable in Mahomes trophy case, eventually, you will kneel.

First to admit I don’t follow rival fans around and engage in the trolling, but it seems I read a lot of posts to that effect. :shrug:

I was going to argue this point but on the Twitter link someone posted some raw Next Gen stats showing Lamar’s averaged speed and number of plays at top speed dwindling over the last few years.

So there’s not much to argue, I suppose. He may have lost a step, though I don’t think it’s much if so. Sneed is pretty fast himself and he had a good angle. I don’t think anyone in the league outside of Hill, Mostert or Achane outrun Sneed in that situation.
