"Patrick Mahomes is gonna have a game where he's just bad and he throws 3 interceptions..."
Over and over again we hear that, right? And yeah, he's gonna have a bad game here and there.
But what if THIS was the bad game? Does anyone feel like he was sharp today at all? He left 100 yards and 2 more scores on the board. Look at his passing chart - he wasn't spreading the ball as well either; worked far more heavily to the right side and shorter than normal.
What the 49ers tried to do was limit him to half the field and keep plays in front of them. As a general rule it WORKED. And he still made a genuine superstar play to Conley as well as the TD to Harris that only looked as easy as it was because Mahomes mind-raped the safety out of his zone.
He'll have some days where the bounces go wrong and the stats look worse than they did today, but I'm not convinced he's gonna have days where he's less sharp than he was today. This is close to as rough an outing as we'll see from the kid, IMO.
