I honestly believe the only way to shut down Mahomes’s ability to throw the ball is to go with like 7 DBs that play a very disciplined zone, so you can cover all areas of the field. Side line to side line and 60 yards past the LOS are all in play with Mahomes.

Of course if a team ever did that, you could run for like 20 yards on every play.

Point is, if you build to “stop Mahomes”, you sacrifice something (or multiple other things). Andy Reid is a smart enough offensive mind to take advantage of that.
