That also puts your defense in a tough spot; most people can't score in one or two plays like we can, so they just wear your defense OUT.
Some ball control may not have all the highlight reel excitement, but is complementary football.
We can do it if we NEED to, but we need to eat some clock, rest the defense, run the ball some, complete some passes, and be methodical in order to be able to get the stops when we need to in the 4th quarter.
It's chess, not checkers.
If Mahomes throws for 200 efficient yards and we win, then it's working.

Exactly right. He said last year the stats are nice, but he really just wants to win games. He's had plenty of seasons going back to high school where he had a quick-strike offense and garbage defense. This includes 2018 Chiefs and obviously every year he was at Tech.
I think Patrick is fed up with the quick strike offense full of empty stats and I'm glad Andy seems to be getting serious about trying to play a smarter brand of football. It's a championship style of football. Control the clock and help your defense rest on the sidelines. Hopefully score a good amount of points on those clock-eating drives as well, which they've been doing!
