The two INTs weren't good, and that's what most people think of right off the bat, but outside of that, Mahomes played just fine.

And the first INT he admitted he tried to move the LB by drifting to his right, but the pass rush forced him to stop moving to his right, and he had to get rid of the ball earlier than he wanted. The 2nd INT was really his worst pass. He just threw it behind Tyreek, period.

Bottom line, for Mahomes stratospheric average level of play, he didn't have a good game. For just about anyone else, he was better than average.

The Athletic was teasing an article yesterday that basically said that Mahomes bad game wasn't really a bad game at all. I was tempted to subscribe just to read that article
