His ability to move around simply cancels out the opposing DC's plan in the secondary because you cannot plan for the lanes he'll create. So if/when a team can keep him in the pocket, they can actually set up a coverage scheme that stays largely to script.
Mahomes looking to move those throwing lanes is almost always a good thing. It's not happy feet and it's not 'itching to scramble' - it's intentionally creating havoc in the secondary. It's getting those guys to be reactive. The Patriots plan to contain him was a smart one and the Chiefs will have to execute at a higher level to keep more teams from doing it going forward.

Game was a chess match. I actually enjoyed it. But probably because the Pats played Hoyer and Stidham did i ever fear they would lose.

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
