Still, Mahomes needs to read the entire field, just for the simple fact that even a broken clock is right twice a day, and Hardman was hilariously wide open for a td.

I don't think he intentionally overlooked him, he wanted something deep and that was Watson. That was broken coverage, I think he assumed Hardman would draw safety back up coverage and Watson would be one on one.
It is an area Mahomes needs to keep maturing. He generally does scan the field, he just didn't do it there.
