Moore and Desir were the stars of the Texans game, they completely bracketed Hopkins, but that was with safety help. They’ll be on their own tomorrow, with Hooker and Geathers worrying about Kelce. That’s not a good matchup for us. Hill will run circles around them if they’re not careful.
One thing they did against Houston was blitz from a lot of different angles. Safeties, corners, and linebackers. But that only worked because Watson is completely unable to recognize when the blitz is coming. I don’t think that will work against Mahomes.

I may be quite wrong, but I think man is more difficult in inclement weather since changing direction quickly is more difficult. I think that Hill is going to have a career day tomorrow. Kelce is going to be used to try and break the cover two all game by running seams and intermediate routes in the middle of the field. Tyreek is going to blow past his man and the safety over the top is going to be out of position on more than one occasion.
