Not necessarily mediocre, but being able to handle the pressure, too. An inexperienced team can start way too jacked up (potentially what we've seen from the Chiefs, like the early game mistakes in the playoffs versus Houston), and routine plays can end up being overthrown balls or a bad drop trying to look downfield prematurely, or a fumble while trying to do too much, or outsmarting yourself on 4th downs.
It's a fine line, and for an already very inconsistent team, doesn't bode well when adding even more pressure to execute.
