What was X doing?

Is that the Kelce TD? It may have been a zone. He may have noticed tendencies of throws to the sideline/corner. He may have been expecting closer coverage by a safety, since Mahomes was so far to the right. He may have just blundered.

Definitely was a zone and he was facing the qb and reading eyes.. Patty looked corner and threw inside. Thats probably the best qb I've ever seen chuck the ball.. that will happen

Yeah! I think people forget sometimes these players don't have eyes in the back of their heads. It's hard to turn to see where the reciever is and watch the QB while maintaining leverage on the reciever the entire play. Those things are bang! bang!

If you watch the play towards the end you can see #55 Baker was coming to guard Kelce but got there too late.

Speaking of Kelce he abuse Rowe the ENTIRE game. Rowe couldn't stay with him foot speed at all...and the angle on the T.Hill TD was atrocious...you absolutely force him inside where your help was coming from...I'm not sure if he even touched him on the TD.

The safeties blew a few coverages yesterday. One TD was when McCain left the game to get injury looked at. His replacement blew the coverage.

I understand the statements on Rowe but I have not seen too many teams ask of anyone what we asked of Rowe yesterday. When we did help it was normally a hidden look that was 2 or 3 steps late. Kelce is about to lead the entire league in receiving at TE and has a chemistry with 15 it's seriously unfair

Oh! Agreed...it's just disconcerting to see a TE running away from a recently coverted CB to DB(Safety). Kelce isn't Vernon Davis with 4.38 speed.

You don't really need eyes in the back of your head on that play. His mistake was playing the line too closely. Like a third baseman sitting 2 feet off the 3rd base line. No need since you can easily defend a low pass down the line once it's thrown. Maybe it's hard to keep your eyes on the QB and also notice the sideline, but I doubt that ... WRs always play the sideline well. I think he just had a bad play. Can't be perfect. Also, suppose he set up two feet to his right. My guess is Mahomes just lobs it up for the TD anyway.

I hear you..but once more bang! bang! stuff...hard to fault X of all players in the secondary.

I can't see the number, but one of the defenders directly infront of Kelce seem to leave his assignment to try and tackle Mahomes which left that wide open throwing window.
Someone else was already giving chase to Mahomes.

Mahommes is absolutely known for loving that sideline endzone throw.. I would bet the house that was a scouting point this week.
 
Another problem was the soft coverage on that 4th down play in the 4th quarter. As well as, Eric Rowe having arguably his worst day as a Safety, since he switched positions last season.

I'm not sure how they could have played that better. KC came out in a bunch type formation with a speed option on top of that formation. So Mahomes had the throw to three possible recievers, a pitch or a keeper...It's really hard to stop all of that for less than 1 yard.

Without seeing it again i think it was just a rub that got hill so open don't think we were as far off as some have been saying. thought it was a great play call personally, but then again with that QB and skill anything can look great
 
On the radio some guys who know football - Cefalo, Rose and Jason Taylor said that X lost him / looked away just for a split second. And by the way I think X is the best CB in football. Mahomes is that good. He’ll make you pay for being a half a nano-second off.

For what it’s worth, we picked him off 3 times. Had anyone done that to him?
