Y'know, against a normal quarterback.
But then Pringle sat down in the end zone back to Mahomes' left. The Colts defenders drifted away to cover the one receiver option that a normal quarterback would have, so they were triple teaming Hardman. Pringle was left wide open because the defenders didn't expect him to be a viable option based on their experience.

I’ll give the 49ers credit for this, their D stuck to their assignments and were one of the first teams who played Mahomes correctly as he rolled out of the pocket.
He still ended up torching them from the pocket anyways.
