Mahomes played more of the game manager role against Baltimore, though he was spectacular in the first half. He was spectacular in Negative 25 wind chill against Miami. Spectacular again in Buffalo where the Chiefs defense got pushed around for 3 quarters of the game. I suspect the Chiefs will need another great performance from Mahomes to beat the Niners.

True. Mahomes is right there with Brady and Montana as the best playoff performers in league history.
Peyton was definitely owed a couple good runs from his defense, though. He probably had worse luck with defenses outside of 06 and 15 than probably Rodgers, Brees and Mahomes, honestly.
