Rewatched the Mahomes snaps just now. Still feel good about it overall. He was poised and smooth. The only thing I didn't like on his part was one time on a throw to Escobar in the end zone, his footwork wasn't there.
Other than that, he was consistently putting the ball in spots where only his receiver could catch it. Even the throw to Escobar in the end zone that he scrambled on could have been caught (Kelce likely would have).
He made a good read on the curl pattern to Stretch Jones. Saw cover 3, the corner bailed and left Jones some room to come back to the football at the sticks. He saw cover 3 again on the throw to Dieter, and put the ball in the perfect spot to Dieter's right. The TD throw was the type of play that makes me compare his playing style to Aaron Rodgers. If you pay attention to many Packers games, a good chunk of Aaron's TD passes are like that. Especially inside the 15 yard line.
The offensive line forced Reid to call plays a little more conservatively than I am sure he would have liked, but don't let that upset you too much. This was a fine performance for Pat and something he can build on.
