Chiefs are 7-0 but not quite perfect. Here’s how to unleash vintage Mahomes: Sando’s Pick Six

New York Times  

The Kansas City Chiefs’ winning machine powered through another opponent Sunday with the inevitable efficiency we’ve come to expect. His first three seasons as a starter were the modern equivalent to Marino’s, with Mahomes throwing nearly five touchdown passes for every interception, a 114-23 ratio from 2018-20. This is the type of blatant missed call that happens once or twice a year in however many thousand plays, where two guys miss what everyone watching on TV can see.” • Whether O’Connell endangered Darrisaw: Coach Kevin O’Connell’s decision to call a running play instead of a quarterback kneel with 35 seconds left in the second quarter opened him to questions when offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw suffered a season-ending knee injury on the play. His performance in a 23-20 defeat at Houston included: • Completing 2 of 15 passes in the first half • Scoring a 69-yard touchdown on one of those completions • Throwing an interception deep in Colts territory less than 30 seconds before halftime, setting up a Texans touchdown • Taking himself out of the game for a play because he was tired • Fumbling a handoff exchange on third down, taking the team out of field goal range • Failing to get out of bounds to stop the clock with less than a minute remaining and Indy out of timeouts When was the last time a quarterback tapped out because he was tired? Two-minute drill: What the Browns won’t say about their quarterbacks The Cleveland Browns set season highs on offense Sunday in points, total yards, passing yards, first downs, EPA, success rate, pass plays gaining more than 15 yards, EPA per pass play and probably a bunch of other categories.
