Chiefs need to play their game- the offense that won the SB- and stop bowing down to this "take what the defenses give you shit". It is just not Mahome's style to dump off 25 times a game.

I think I went fishing that day, so I missed most of that game.
here's the thing though:
If Pat takes those short shots to kelce and/or whoever repeatedly for first downs, and doesn't turn the ball over inside the RZ so we score and score TDs, the defense will eventually have to bring a safety down, which would open up things downfield, right? We'll skip the run game argument for now, as we don't really have a RB1 right now and no one is scared of any of our RBs this season.
But if we're picking up 1st downs all the way down the field AND scoring TDs, no DC will keep both of his safeties high forever. They'll have to change things up, so Pat should be taking those short shots over the middle instead of trying to force things downfield every three plays.
Think about it: if Pat hits Jerrick on that one play, that's a 1st down at least, 20 yards at least, and we're out of the shadow of our posts and have a legit shot at burning down the clock. Instead w take three consecutive shots down the field for no gain and no time off the clock.
It's not a sustainable way to play football.
