Same when Brady threw for 50 Td's. The had incredible talent on the Offensive side of the ball- but also had a defense that could make teams go away from what they do best.
Chief's have made a huge effort by the players they have signed on defense- to stop the run. They want to get a lead- make teams one dimensional and force them into mistakes.
Same blueprint as 2 Championship teams when they had unstoppable offenses. Mahomes should get More chances to put up numbers- Not less.
Plus we don't have Barry Word and Okoye back there to run out the clock every time we get up a few scores.
Expecting Mahomes to do worse than last year is simply not probable.
