The threat of the deep pass opens up everything else.

It's not the only thing but it is a big thing.

It's not just that.

"Deep passing' is more than 50 yard bombs over a defense. IT's also taking those big chunk 28 yard posts that you NEVER saw Alex even attempt. Good lord, there's a whole area between slants/screens/swings and bombs over the defense that Alex ALSO largely ignores. It's where Mahomes has been purging demons all season. I don't think he's completed a single 'deep pass' over the top yet.
