'I tried to force the ball into Xavier; that is my first read, and there was a chance I could get it in there, but if I just see the coverage and reset back, Tyquan kind of wins on the backside route.'

Mahomes forced third-down pass to Worthy when Thornton was open on backside.

On a third-down incompletion in the first quarter, Mahomes forced the ball to Xavier Worthy as his first read despite tight coverage. Mahomes acknowledged that Tyquan Thornton had won on the backside route and was open with better leverage and matchup, indicating Mahomes' tendency to force throws to Worthy early rather than working through full progressions.
