No, you are not an ignorant homer.

I hate to compare Mahomes to Elway. But, IMO, the same forces of fear are at work.

Think about the number of times any team was up on Elway in the 4th, then lose.
Nerves take over. Adrenaline fills the blood. Dopamine is high.

WE ARE GOING TO BEAT ELWAY AND DENVER!!!!

Then BOOM!!! Bad decisions abound. And Elway crushes you.

Lets substitute Elway for Mahomes.

Think about the number of times any team was up 10 on Mahomes at anytime, then lose.
Nerves take over. Adrenaline fills the blood. Dopamine is high.

WE ARE GOING TO BEAT MAHOMES AND KC!!!

Then BOOM!!! Bad decisions abound. And Mahomes magic crushes you.

Down 10? No problem. Mahomes got this.

You can see it in his eyes and the fear on souls of opposing teams. Offenses fold. Defenses fail miserably. Men turn to boys. The feeling of death takes over. You lose.


It is the Mahomes effect in full force. And it will continue to get greater and greater
