But the Broncos did put some tape on how to slow the offense down. Now the Chiefs and Andy need to counter punch.

At the same time, Mahomes/Reid now have the blueprint on what teams will use to try to beat them.
Mahomes can't know just how those overloaded blitzes are going to feel until he actually faces them in a hostile environment. And by the 4th quarter he'd already re-calibrated his internal clock in a big way.
If teams think they're gonna be able to get away with that as well as the Broncos did - good luck to them.
This is going to be like the Second Battle of Ypres. It was the first time the Germans used poisonous gas in WWI and it was horrifyingly effective. So much so that the Germans were actually unprepared to take advantage of it. They didn't press the lines at all. So they killed some guys (mostly Canadians, IIRC) but gained little to no strategic advantage from it at a point in the war where they could've won the damn thing. The Allied's quickly saw what was happening and within months had developed effective countermeasures that at least prevented things from being catastrophic when they were gassed later on.
Well congrats, Donkeys - you gassed him. But you didn't kill him and now he's gonna know what's coming and how to deal with it.
All you've really done is show him his own weaknesses so he can make sure they aren't problems anymore. And you still took the L. Thanks lads.
