Well they're still going to run it or throw a little shorter - and if nothing else there's a shorter field to work with. Both of those will drag down the yardage, productivity and efficiency stats.
I think if you go back and look last year - a ton of the big throws and a lot of the scoring was the 4th Q - because we
had to. If we don't
have to, that will naturally drop off some. And that's OK.
Also at least 4 of Mahomes' TD passes last year were basically hand-offs. If those don't work or we don't try them as much - that's 4 less TD passes. And if we still score but with a pitch or actual handoff - that's also OK.
