Wilson and Lamar Jackson are more mobile than your QB. That's not to say your QB isn't great. He is great and I openly also say that along with you guys. Just running around he is fast but not as fast as Russell Wilson or certainly Lamar Jackson.
Like I said our team was so decimated by injuries then. It was not full strength defense. Some of those key guys are back now for the playoffs and we have been more dominant. Yes Mahomes is great but I would rather have a closer to full strength roster like now than the patch work roster backups we were playing with when we faced those 2 teams.

In terms of avoiding pass rush, the 20 yard shuttle gives a better idea than the 40 yard dash. Wilson and Mahomes have a virtually identical 20 yard shuttle. Patrick is very difficult to sack because of this quickness. He’s not very fast in the 40 yard dash but fast enough to burn people for 5-15 yard gains on 3rd down.
