I'm not pissed about the read Mahomes made there, but if he HAD made a different one, there was a play to be made.
I agree with DJ, Rice was the read. I have zero issue with that.

People can talk all they want to about how few times Mahomes has been sacked, but I swear he is almost always ready to move out of the pocket, or at least relocate in the pocket, because he assumes that the tackles are going to get pushed back into him.
I have been killed all year for saying this, but our tackles are not good, and for we are paying Taylor, he just sucks.
Neither can run block at all, and they are garbage at picking up stunts and games. Thuney and Smith have looked worse than normal because they are being bookended by poor play.
On the pass to Kelce that everyone orgasmed over a couple of weeks ago, Mahomes steps up right into Smith because Smith got pushed back. So, everyone will remember the throw, but nothing else. There have been quite a few plays like that this year, where the tackles weren't good, but Mahomes made something happen anyway.
