Tomlin states, “you can’t play zone or he’ll pick you apart”… to which they didn’t much. Nor did Houston.
Two game sample size of good defenses going man heavy, but because of Hollywood, because of Worthy’s development… it simply didn’t work.
And yet Tomlin is still right. If you go zone heavy, Mahomes has become surgical in those matchups. He’d prefer it even.
And so really, as was the case always with Brady and Manning, the BEST way to beat these QBs is if you are able to go man coverage with a four-man pass rush.
And yet now, with these weapons fully engaged.. I don’t know that a defense can pull it off. I really don’t.
What’s it mean? What we already know to be true. The only thing that can stop this threepeat is going to be the Chiefs themselves.
EDIT: Same thing played out in '19 where teams thought they could get fat any happy with press man cause it worked when Tyreek and Watkins were out a few games. Then they came back. Rest is history...
