Fred Warner is great. But other than that, the back 7 is not configured to handle or slow down Patrick Mahomes with any consistency.
If the Chiefs play one more clean game and the D is able to confuse Purdy and Shanahan like I think it is going to, I think it's a more comfortable win than the one we saw today.

This offense isn't even the same. It's not "try to limit the big play" anymore. It's now about hoping that the offense makes a mistake and you can capitilize on it.
