Absolutely. And you just reminded us that this may have been the dearth of the Butker experience this season.
Butker is a gamer and was nails against the Jags. I imagine that continues here.
Mahomes is probably hitting his prime next season, this tricky quarter-quarter-half defense the Bengals/Broncos run just seems to be the last defense the league has tried on him that has worked. He's not far away from truly unlocking it.
As we've been saying: if Brown can neutralize Hendrickson, the Chiefs will play around Wylie and Mahomes will do what he needs to win this game (assuming he is mostly healthy).
