Ya'll are just wrong, straight up. Making it seem like he was wide ass open is just wrong, he wasn't.

Isn't that the play design, though?
Kelce is there - probably as the first read - on the underneath route. If he draws the attention of the safety over the top, that's going to open up Rice. And that's exactly what happened. You can see the safety at 22 seconds peak at Kelce and start down towards him. Now Mahomes, with all of that in front of him, should read that the play design has worked to get his 2nd read open and put that ball in that window for Rice to run it down.
I think he had the throw and had it fairly easily. But he dropped his eyes when the safety came down to Kelce instead of making the next progression to Rice.
He had the time, he had a throwing lane, Rice had the space.
Ball should've been thrown, IMO.
