I don’t know if there is an official stat for “who cares” or “literally not a problem” INTs where it’s third and long and you are facing a punt regardless and you throw it towards the end zone, but I am guessing about half of Mahomes’ INTs will be of that variety. It will go towards his INT total and people will scream too many interceptions but they won’t actually matter. And in fact that aggressiveness will probably lead to points we never would had had in the past, just the end of the first half against the Falcons.

Also, Smith was throwing to wide open receivers constantly. So wide open even Smith was comfortable throwing to them downfield. Those plays aren’t going anywhere. The offense will not force Mahomes to make some crazy amount of tight window throws or having to make difficult decisions that will result in 20 INTs that actually impact the game.
