You seem to be unaware of the composition of the offenses you’re comparing, or simply ignoring that difference.
Lamar Jackson had a great season and is deservedly the MVP. However, as already pointed out, that offense is all about generating steady gains on early downs and staying out of passing downs on third down.
It’s still dangerous on third and long because of Jackson’s running ability, but if he has to line it up and throw it, it still is advantage: defense.
Look at the game again. You know all those intermediate throws outside the hashes Jackson couldn’t line up due to inaccuracy and wobbly throws? That’s one of Mahomes’ biggest strengths. You know all those throws Jackson missed to open TEs? Again, Mahomes doesn’t do that.
The Chiefs’ stable of receiving weapons far outstrips either of the teams the Titans have faced in the playoffs, and also have more deep speed than either of them.
Tyreek Hill | Sammy Watkins | Mecole Hardman | Travis Kelce | Damien Williams
That’s an alignment you’re going to see a lot on Sunday from KC. Dangerous, game-breaking receiving weapons everywhere.
The Titans present a tough challenge for KC because of the stylistic fit. The Titans’ stout run D will hold Kc’s run game mostly in check, and the Titans offensive style will likely win ToP for Tennessee. But KC was out-possessed by 10 minutes yesterday and still scored 51 points.
Is Jayon Brown going to play? Is he going to be 100 percent? Tennessee will need his coverage prowess on Kelce to get by.
How good are your 3rd and 4th CBS? Because they’re going to play a lot of snaps. Can anybody besides Jackson run with Tyreek Hill? Because Watkins and Hardman also have game-breaking speed.
What other options do you have on the DL? Your base guys are bigger, slower dudes who don’t specialize in rushing the passer. That’s great against the run, but it makes it tough against an elusive passer who gets the ball out quickly, knows how to climb the pocket, knows how to escape pressure, and can do some damage with his legs.
These are the questions you should be looking at rather than just comparing base stats of two very different offenses.
