Mahomes: 382 yards, 3 TDs; elite performance made giving him OT possession risky.

Mahomes finished with 382 passing yards and three touchdowns against Indianapolis. Daniel Jones notes that giving Mahomes another possession in overtime was undesirable because he had already thrown for nearly 400 yards and was playing at an elite level, making the case for going for it on fourth-and-8 rather than kicking a field goal.
