From the episode
Mahomes in this game, four for five, 102 passing yards, one touchdown, no interceptions, and a 158.3 passer rating against cover zero. You look at all the other coverages that he faced against cover three, which he saw more than 40% of the time in this game. Six for 12, 41 passing yards, 58 passer rating. I mean, cover four, three for six for 60 yards, and he had a touchdown, which helps the QBR, but it's like you look at so many of these other statistics for Mahomes passing. Nine for 21 on passes where he had more than two and a half seconds to throw the ball.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalMatchup
Mahomes 158.3 rating vs cover zero; ineffective vs cover three despite 40%+ usage.
Against the Raiders, Patrick Mahomes was highly effective against cover zero (man coverage): 4 for 5, 102 passing yards, 1 touchdown, 0 interceptions, 158.3 passer rating. However, against cover three (which the Raiders used more than 40% of the time), Mahomes was much less effective: 6 for 12, 41 passing yards, 58 passer rating. Against cover four, he was 3 for 6 for 60 yards with a touchdown. The source notes that when Mahomes had more than 2.5 seconds to throw, he was only 9 for 21, and his average time to throw was over 3 seconds in the game, which was not effective outside of man coverage reps.
