He needs to be really good at what Alex was really good at now. That's where we need to see him excel and it will set up all the long stuff.
That 3rd down pass to Kelce was more important to me. [Reply]

Exactly. It’s not about Mahomes being good at what Alex was good at. It’s about being good at what he wasn’t, and that means intermediate throws on third and long. It’s what he has shown in every game he’s played - and that means so much for the success of this team. [Reply]

Yes and no.
The intermediate throws are ones he does need to own as well, but all those little short crossers and the pinpoint accuracy can be lethal. [Reply]
The play before the "illegal formation" should be a TD off the Inside Zone. Wylie does a good job of helping his backside gap then getting to the 2nd lvl. Erving combos with Morse to set him up then knocks back the LB trying to slip in. Hunt's gotta see that one. pic.twitter.com/RopfwbRJcV
