Too much at stake to rest him. Despite recent success, winning a super bowl is hard and requires a few breaks. You aim for the 1 seed these next two games.
Worse case, you don't get it and mahomes gets hurt. Best case you skip a game AND get lowest seeded team in the divisional round. That's a pretty big deal too.
This whole team needs a break, not just mahomes. Only the one seed provides that. It's worth the risk.
