Pressing to much

When the Chiefs began their second possession, the scoreboard showed that they trailed the Titans by 14 points. Mahomes acknowledged that he was impacted by such a daunting deficit despite having 45 minutes left in the game. Feeling the pressure, both from within himself and the Titans’ pass rush, Mahomes was sacked four times.

“I’ve just got to be better early in the game so we don’t get behind like we did,” Mahomes said. He added of the Titans’ defense: “They played the same coverages that they played (last week) against the (Buffalo) Bills. I didn’t execute. There were open guys you could see on the tablet (afterward). There’s pockets that were clean that I scrambled from. I have to be better.”
