The 2021 Mahomes hiccups were about the NFL adjusting to our vertical shots and taking them away. Both Reid/Mahomes were addicted to verticals and we struggled when they weren't there.
Last year we built an offense that countered back to take the efficiency that teams were giving us because they were playing so deep. So we were doing quick outlets to RB's and short throws that were wide open.
Now teams see our WR's and say, " You not only don't have Tyreek, we have no fear of your guys."
So the throws to the flats against Denver were swarmed. Denver dared us to rain bombs on them and we had no firepower to do so.
