It's weird that this is being treated like a controversial take. They left two TDs on the field intentionally. We can call it what it is. In one case, Mahomes literally could have walked in almost untouched. In the other, they had about a 98% chance of scoring in 4 tries from the 1.
And like I mentioned earlier, a much improved defense obviously has an effect on offensive output and strategy too. There's no doubt in my mind that they'd have scored more points this year if needed. And likely less last year if the D were stronger.
