We are very fortunate for this defense

If he knows that he can rely on his D, then he doesn't have to play out of his mind. If the D wasn't elite, then he'd be playing better. It's like at the end of the game if we need points to take the lead, then I am more sure than I've ever been that Patrick is going to take this team on a game winning drive.
Patrick Mahomes delivers when he has to and the only example of him not doing that was the OT loss to the Bengals in the AFCCG. He delivered right before the EOR with a 14 play 6+ minute drive to tie the game. He just failed in OT. The only time he's ever failed in that position and he's been in that position a ton of times.
