Teams are doing what they are supposed to do; breaking down his strengths and causing him to fall back on bad habits. I believe he will grow out of this however right now, he's feeling pressure when there's none and trying to hit the five run homer with no one on base all by himself.
I'm fairly certain that for years, defensive players and coaches simply said: he can't keep making those plays, it's such a low percentage throw, etc. So, they have concentrated on making sure that defenders stay with their assignments and make him be patient. The fact that the Chiefs don't throw to the RB and are very predictable as to when they run the ball is making it easy for defenses to frustrate Patrick.
