Just curious what you think of this stat.
Mahomes QB rating with Hunt: 117.9 (12 games)
Mahomes QB rating without Hunt: 101.7 (5 games)
What are teams doing? Playing more zone? man? Less blitzing? is he injured?
Thoughts?

Hunt was an exceptional talent, and oh, a couple of those games without Hunt were against the Ravens and @Seattle, teams that mix up coverages and play really good defense. Those early games were against teams that scored quickly and have junk defenses. It took the team a couple of games to figure out exactly how to compensate for Hunt's departure, but if you look at the numbers, the rushing average has remained fairly static. We also overhauled our defense @Seattle, putting two youngsters in as starters and switching to more 4 man fronts, which has paid dividends. For how much the talking heads trash our defense, they overlook two things :
1. Most teams were playing from behind. Way behind. So they threw, a lot. Often against soft zones and prevent defenses.
And
2. The Chiefs lead the league in sacks and QB pressures.
I'm only worried about the RBs and Edelman. If we can shut down the running game/catches out of the backfield and put the clamp on PEDelman, Ford, Jones, and Houston can tee off on Brady, make Super Bowl for Chiefs.
How's dem X's and O's?
