Sort of like what New England did in the second half of their game.
What's the assessment from Chiefs fans?

Mahomes has zero issues "going through reads" or throwing from the pocket. He has excellent vision and will throw to whoever is open. The key to slowing him down just comes down to pressure. Pressure + physical man-to-man coverage has slowed down the offense at times. Chargers took away the deep ball and were able to apply pressure with their front four with Ingram and Bosa. They made Mahomes dink and dunk for the most part, but he converted deep when it mattered most.
