This route looks like shit. I can't imagine they drew it up like that: make a lumbering shoulder fake, then when the DB flips and you can get separation, just kinda sit there.

I love assumptions.

If Mahomes was looking for Moore to take that deep then he would have thrown the ball deep. His "hitch" comes when Moore turns the DB around and there's literally nothing but green grass in front of Moore deep. No reason to not throw that ball deep if that was indeed where the route was intended to go. However, there is a reason to not throw that ball where the route ended up because the underneath defender is reading Mahomes like a book.
