Well, there was no one else. I guess they finally realized that if they shit the bed in the playoffs there was no savior coming - they're just responsible for tanking a Pat Mahomes led offense in the playoffs.

They did bench 2 of the guys who were causing problems (Toney & Moore). MVS has stepped up his game in the Playoffs, which is nice to see. I would say Rice has stepped up his game as well. He had some fumbles and drops during the first half of the season.
Mahomes & Kelce have certainly stepped up their game in the Playoffs. Patrick is avoiding the dumb throws into tight coverage, while Kelce seems more focused on catching the ball and hanging on to it for dear life.
Everyone involved will need to bring
one more day of very strong focus, very strong execution to avoid the stupid mistakes that killed them in so many games earlier this season.
