This is why I think people saying that if Alex had this start we'd have "torn him to shreds". To me, this start was as Anti-Alex as it gets. Mahomes took chances, threw for over 300 yards against the #1 defense in the NFL (Alex managed 300 yards 9 times in 5 year career with the Chiefs), and drove all over the field to put the Jags out of the game before they knew what hit them. He did throw 2 interceptions on risky throws, but to me, that separates the performance from Alex even more.

I think Alex goes something like 22/38 for 224 yards with 0 TD's and INT's. Do we win? Maybe, but I'm not convinced we score on the first drive - and if we don't get out to a 13-0 lead, the Jags likely establish the run and its a different game.

If I had to guess - I think this game would have been a photocopy of the Tenn games from 2016 & 2018. Ending with a last second dagger field goal and us losing 17-19 or some such.
