Then Mahomes INT on the very first play of the drive.
Then punt drives

4 plays 20 yards PUNT
Then Chiefs drain the clock with winning FG drive and kill the clock drive
14 plays 80 yards FG
15 plays 45 yards END of GAME
The game story says Mahomes threw INTs on the very first play of 2 separate drives by trying to loft a touch pass over defenders that were able to intercept the ball.
Two drives end in punts.
Then Chiefs run 29 of the last 35 plays of the game.
Chiefs had 204 rushing yards.
The offense did not have a bad game because of WRs. |
The chiefs had early success by running and going heavy on tight ends. Gray was our feature guy. The jets neutralized our passing attack by bracketing kelce and doing basic man coverage against our WRs. Mahomes standing in the pocket for 50 seconds, his happy feet, and making totally uncharacteristic mistakes or missed reads indicate otherwise. We survived the game because Pacheco was able to carry the passing game. But we were flat out stifled in the passing game once he adjusted to us.
Our WRs were bad and it’s not just reflected in wr stats, it also allowed them to lock down kelce. That’s a good defense and secondary but let’s not deflect blame from them. They weren’t good.
