3rd - Had to convert a 4th and 4 but scored a TD easily after.
4th - Several chunk plays followed by a TD.
5th - Multiple chunk plays. Defense tightened up near the goal line. Mahomes TD dive on 4th down.
6th - Moved the ball well until the Kelce fumble.
7th - Moving the ball until Mahomes was tripped up trying to run for the first on 3rd and short. Andy stupidly tries the FG
instead of trusting Mahomes to pick up 3 yards.
Only one punt. Two sacks. KC was able to get chunk plays fairly consistently, especially on the ground. Solid success in the screen game. Balanced attack overall.
I think Mahomes and Andy really know how to attack this defense now. They were a rare Kelce fumble and a batted pass from probably adding another 10-14 points. And they'd have likely kept the last drive alive had Andy not been a huge pussy and settled for the FG.
Also, Mahomes didn't do a whole lot of scrambling in this game. Mostly stayed in the pocket. Hopefully that will bode well for the rematch.

Thx for that tidbit. Hopefully Pat won't have to scramble much in this one, but if I were CIN I'd be blitzing a lot more than they have previously. It'll be interesting to see what they do. And how Andy will counter.
