They can't fathom the thought that Mahomes outdueled Allen while facing the better defense.

I spent the first 3 quarters of that game just shaking my head at how well that Buffalo defense was playing. The scoring drives took absolutely Herculanean efforts from Mahomes each time.
I just don't understand how Buffalo fans can shit on their D after that game. They were outstanding until Mahomes simply went supernova and then Leslie Frazier made a couple of REALLY bad calls on that last drive out of raw fear.
That's what speed do, I guess. Frazier wanted no part of seeing Hill get over top of him. I just don't think he considered the fact that a pass like that would've taken more than the 8 seconds the Chiefs had to play with. It was poor situational awareness by their DC, IMO.
But as for the defensive players themselves, man they just played their asses off and against anyone else they probably win that game by 13+.
