I do question (a little anyway) if it really was a timing route. If it was, well, Pat's thrown a million timing routes, so I'd expect he would've thrown the ball there. It's not like Pat's become Russell Wilson this season. So, I wonder if maybe it wasn't a timing route, but something else that Pat was expecting?
I guess it doesn't matter really. Regardless, it was the only option, so Mahomes should've taken it.
I missed the game and haven't seen a replay or even highlights, so my question is, how many of these types of mistakes did Pat really make in this game? considering the season he's having, I'm guessing he's making a few per game (maybe), but his stats/advanced metrics say he's not making a ton of them?

Listen, it's not a TON. It's a few to a handful a game.
But that's literally the difference between being a top flight type offense and undefeated and a #15 type offense.
Add in a drop here and there. Add in a handful of not making the right adjustments to their routes according to the defense's coverage.
These are all correctable things, and for stretches they look like what we've come to expect Chiefs offenses to look like; and for stretches they look like "what the **** is THIS?"
A lot of new parts, lot of young players, lot of not quite clicking.
It's not as simple as THESE WR'S SUCK!
