From the article

Mahomes did not complete a pass beyond 12 air yards. He admitted he was rushing his throws, at times not advancing to second and third progressions. He threw for explosive plays in theory, but in practice the Chiefs' big passing gains came almost entirely through checkdowns extended with yards after the catch.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Mahomes' 184 passing yards and conservative air yards reflect early-season adjustment struggles.

Mahomes completed 15 of 27 passes for 184 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, with the source noting he did not complete a pass beyond 12 air yards. He admitted to rushing throws, not advancing to second and third progressions that would have opened bigger plays, and having 'a few overstrides' that resulted in low throws. He acknowledged 'I got to be better in the pass game' and that if the Chiefs continue to run the ball heavily, defenses will force them to pass and he must showcase that capability.
