Reid and Mahomes have also shown an other-worldly ability to come from behind. Mahomes’ winning percentage when being double-digits behind is still over .500, maybe even .600. No other QB is anywhere close to that number. So even if they get a 10 point lead, it doesn’t mean the same thing as a 10 point lead against any other team in the NFL.
This is the golden era of KC Chiefs football for thes reasons. Enjoy it. It is not just b/c Chiefs win with Mahomes. It’s because Mahomes, with Reid as HC, can do things that no other QB in NFL history can. Down 24 points in the Divisional round? Who cares? Your QB is getting tackled? Who cares? You have to rely upon your QB to run for 18 yards to get a first down? Who cares?
No other QB in the NFL right now, or in NFL history, can say the same thing. this isn’t being a homer. It’s just watching the game and seeing how and why Mahomes is different.
