I feel like the Chiefs knew that and went hard at the very beginning on script to establish that dynamic.

It was pressure. Baltimore had to win this game, they needed to win it and they weren’t going to win it unless Lamar out dueled Mahomes. He was trying to do that and that opened him up to mistakes.
