I also think Andy's playcalling was more conservative in some situations, like when he did back to back rushing plays on 1st and 2nd down even though the 1st down play went for zero yardage.

It's so obviously not just Andy's playcalling that led to it.
Because when Andy gets cautious, if Pat's not on the same page, he does that stuff where he holds the ball too long, won't come off guys, waits for a first read to open up and then gets himself it or commits a turnover.
Mahomes as at the back of his drop and the ball was out - immediately. If it wasn't, he started looking for a lane to run or in one case took a sack.
It was OBVIOUSLY a concerted effort to keep the clock running and protect the ball. From Reid, yes, but Mahomes as well. It was the PLAN after halftime.
It wasn't an accident. It wasn't a necessary evil. It was how they intended to win that game and they were dead-ass right.
