specifically to Mahomes, Dee Ford cost us the SB in year 1. No one was faulting Mahomes.
Last years SB, He was running for his life and still had two TD’s clank off his WR’s face masks. No one was faulting Mahomes for that loss.
So him using it as motivation didn’t really hit home inside of him. Just like every other human being. He wasn’t the core reason for the fall.
This year, you can put blame, a lot of blame on him personally. I expect him to grow from this loss. Don’t always be so greedy. Take the first down. Stay out of it getting in your head that you have to do something big in almost every game, take big risks or the team is going to lose.
I expect him to be the best version of Patrick we have ever seen next year.
