He had time to make an adjustment but i don't really want to just focus on one player and put it all on him. It was poor execution all around. From rushing 3 to guys leaving their zone. Like this guy, Geno Stone. He was in a good position but when Pat threw the ball i guess he was trying to jump a route and ended up in no-man's land when the ball arrived, leaving the rookie out to dry.
4th and 16 is a low percentage conversion. If they simply execute, the game is over. Going back to 2013, 4th and 15+ is converted at a 13.9% rate. |
Without looking at the actual numbers, I'm betting that Mahomes' conversion rate on 4th and 16, or similar, is better than that rate. One thing I learned in watching Patrick play QB is not to give up on a play like that because Patrick has a way of making it happen.
