Man Trey Smith has quietly been really bad this season. More penalties, more pass pro losses. That guy got his ass kicked out there on Sunday.

No it doesn't.
Taylor isn't setting up for a 13 yard pass rush depth. He has his man completely handled and is essentially standing there waiting for him to come at an 8-10 yard angle.
Mahomes drifts to 13.
No, Taylor doesn't get beat there - he gets hung out to dry. He can't cheat to a 13 yard depth - he'll get murdered inside every time. And he can't anticipate that Mahomes is going to do that, not when he can see there's no pressure off his left shoulder that would've collapsed the pocket and kept Mahomes from stepping up.
That play is 100% on Mahomes. That's not even "Man, PM didn't reach his usual bar of greatness" - it's simply bad QB play. It's shit I wouldn't want to see from Aidan O'Connell.
He's gotta be better there.
