Couple of things. First, I believe Mahomes had a concussion. Because he wasn't wobbly, he thought he could play. Like having a few drinks and getting behind the wheel. Sometimes you feel fine to continue when you're actually not. If he says nothing and isn't falling down, there's no trip to the blue tent.
Next, if we score on 2nd and goal, we lose. The Bengals get the ball back without about 1:30. Plenty of time to score on our dipshit defense.
The 3rd and goal play was the worst. He had guys open at every level of that play. His mind just wasn't processing what it saw correctly.
Also, if Chad Henne plays, the Bengals crowd the LOS and blitz a lot. No telling how the offense would react in that scenario.
