I think the defender second from the top of the screen spooked Mahomes a little. At the time Mahomes would have had to commit to that throw, the defender wasn't moving to the back of the EZ to cover the WR yet. He could have driven on the ball and possibly cut off Kelce's route and intercepted it.
Notice how the spy sits back and then finally charges? Baltimore did that and it was super effective. I always wondered why more teams didn't use it against ut.
