This is classic Monday morning quarterbacking. For Mahomes at that point, the priority is getting the game to overtime when you’re at that stage with no time outs left. If you can take a shot at the end zone and win, you do it. But you don’t let a mistake beat you. So let’s say he hits Williams. Two possibilities: 1/ Williams ****s up and stays in bounds, gets tackled, game over. Or 2/ Williams gets out of bounds and then you’re still at the 10 and need to be throwing into what’s likely double or triple coverage in the end zone again, risking a pick and the end of the game.
Had Mahomes thrown a pick to end the game there, Reid would’ve been castigated and Mahomes probably would’ve been mentally crushed through the entire offseason. We have the single most aggressive QB in the NFL who has 3rd and short and chucks it 40yds downfield. There’s no part of me that will ever question his or Reid’s aggressiveness in a situation like this.
