Bolts From The Blue on Patrick Mahomes

Mahomes' arm talent forces defenses into difficult coverage choices against the run-heavy Chiefs.

Mahomes remains the centerpiece of the Chiefs' elite offense. The defensive strategy against Kansas City now requires balancing the threat of Mahomes' arm with the need to stop Kenneth Walker's rushing attack; defenses can no longer sit back with light boxes and dare the Chiefs to run, as Kansas City has proven commitment to the running game. Leaving defensive backs exposed against Mahomes carries obvious risk, but allowing Walker to control the game would make Kansas City almost impossible to stop.
