Uhhh... no. The problem is that 3 man rushes are blowing up our six man protections and mahomes is ducking, dodging, and running around when he sure as hell shouldn't have to.

It doesn't help that they either can't or won't run the ball against those fronts either. You'll notice that early on, they ran the ball and the offense pretty much performed as expected (other than the terrible non-call on that long pass breakup Abram had on Tyreek).
Then they just stopped running and those down linemen stopped playing straight up. The Chiefs have to do a better job not telegraphing their tendencies because all it does is make playing these coverage defenses easier for the opponent.
