That's exactly my point.
They don't allow KC (or anybody else for that matter) to score 25 points, especially in the playoffs.
Burrow has NEVER had to do what Mahomes has done consistently since 2018 - overcome atrocious defensive performances that resulted in more than 30 points against. Burrow has not only never done it, he's never HAD to do it.
If the defense takes a step back at all, they're absolutely banking on their offense to overcome it. On paper, it's looks like they could do exactly that but the simple fact is that, up to this point, they simply haven't done it. There's no historical evidence to backup the assumption at all.
