And for whatever reason it looked like PM hesitated. Typically on a play like that, by the time you notice the WR then look back to the QB, the QB is releasing the football. Patrick was still setting up and took even one extra hop on it. He was late on the throw and Worthy looked to try to be slowing down in the zone to keep that throwing window open.
If Mahomes hits that ball as soon as it breaks open, it's a far far FAR easier play for Worthy.
So while that's a bad mental error on Worthy's part, PM wasn't completely without blame. He acted like he just didn't trust what he was seeing because I'm telling you, that play was right in front of him and open from the jump. But for whatever reason, he just didn't let it rip.

Mahomes had to play the safety off with his eyes and then float the ball into that void in their zone. Seemed like it was 100% on Worthy being a lost rookie. Worthy does have good hands and you can't teach speed and getting playing time with a HOF like Hopkins should show him the light.
