I don't think it's neutering him as much as he's adapting. You could clearly see that DEs were just running deep because Mahomes could just drop back as far as possible then run around. So defenders were just trying to meet him back there and it was working. That's hard for OTs to block.
Tonight Mahomes was stepping up in the pocket and letting guys run behind him, then escaping out.
