The QBs anymore are just too damn good. You simply can’t defend everything in today's NFL, especially against the best teams.
The Bills had the number 1 ranked defense. Sure those rankings aren’t always perfect, but they’re clearly top 10 (even if the rankings are skewed a bit).

I think I read that the Bills got pressure on something like 39% of their snaps as well.
The problem is that Mahomes numbers were actually a bit better under pressure than they were when he wasn't.
It's just God Mode stuff. That's it and that's all. Those defensive backs played damn well. Their DL was constantly making Mahomes shift/move around in the pocket. He simply didn't miss. He never quit on a play. He never made so much as a single mental error.
He played a virtually perfect football game by a guy who's physical tools match/exceed anyone who's ever played this sport. And despite all that he had, what, 200 yards passing at the 2-minute warning?
The Bills defense played fantastic. But Mahomes was just awe-inspiring. I've never seen a QB play that well and I've watched every snap this kid has ever taken. You can't do it any better than that, especially against a defense that truly was playing its ass off.
