Patrick Mahomes: Game Manager

Because when Andy gets cautious, if Pat's not on the same page, he does that stuff where he holds the ball too long, won't come off guys, waits for a first read to open up and then gets himself it or commits a turnover.

Mahomes as at the back of his drop and the ball was out - immediately. If it wasn't, he started looking for a lane to run or in one case took a sack.

It was OBVIOUSLY a concerted effort to keep the clock running and protect the ball. From Reid, yes, but Mahomes as well. It was the PLAN after halftime.

It wasn't an accident. It wasn't a necessary evil. It was how they intended to win that game and they were dead-ass right.

As long as they were ahead by two scores they were not going to do a damn thing to risk it.

And when the Ravens got within a play of having a whiff of tying the game, they dialed up the dagger.

Andy won plenty of games in Philly that way. Hell, with Alex.
