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.

As long as they were ahead by two scores they were not going to do a damn thing to risk it.
And when the Ravens got within a play of having a whiff of tying the game, they dialed up the dagger.
Andy won plenty of games in Philly that way. Hell, with Alex.
