STACKED’s take
Mahomes' 5.0 YPA and 58.3 rating mark fifth-lowest of career with backup OL.
Mahomes looked uncomfortable from the pocket against Seattle with backup offensive tackles, finishing with 5 yards per pass attempt and a 58.3 passer rating—the fifth-lowest marks of his career in both categories across 131 games. He threw multiple off-target passes in the first half, including two weirdly bad throws to Travis Kelce and a severely short deep attempt to Xavier Worthy. At one point he threw five straight incompletions including an interception. On a second-and-10 late in the second quarter, he rushed a tight sideline window throw that safety Nick Emmanwori intercepted due to a lack of proper shoulder turn. On third-and-7 in the third quarter, he stepped out of a messy pocket without accounting for a pass rusher and fumbled (recovered by the team). The source notes his pocket presence and confidence can be temporarily skewed when unfamiliar with his protectors, though he didn't settle into the game until the fourth quarter. Two turnovers by the signal caller are unacceptable in a low-scoring defensive battle, and he failed to elevate his play to make up for shortcomings around him.
