What we seem to forget is that Mahomes is young and played his college days basically running for his life. That translated into success during his 1st 3 years as a starter. Defenses have adjusted to that so now he has to change his game. Even legendary gunslingers like Favre, Marino, and Namath took the dump-off when it moved the chains.

If a team is playing 2 deep safeties, we could line up in our normal spread offense and have Mahomes just throw a quick out to the RB in the flat with no delay and its 7-8 yards.

Those plays are there but we need to learn to keep taking them.

Against Raiders, Vegas D altered in the 2nd half. Think of the Chiefs as a boxer with a deadly right hook. So Raiders kept close to us, and let us jab them in the face for a half. Then they made the mistake of getting frustrated with all the jabs to the face and backed up...then we unloaded on them.

Dallas never altered and it still frustrates us when teams don't let us throw our favorite punch.
