Not here to dance on anyone's grave but this was my point... you're not going to completely shut down Mahomes but I believed the Cincy defense had the personnel and the coaching to get the odd stop and they did.Right that's my opinion too. Highly rated defense vs bad teams or weather conditions. And when you're playing KC I'm not sure defense really matters at all. I think they have 3 impact defenders though, Hendrickson (is better than anyone on the Bills line), Logan Wilson is underrated and a sure tackler, and Bates on the back end. Their corners can hold their own too.
You're not going to completely stop the Chiefs and the "best D always wins" narrative is dead. I think they have the personnel to get the odd stop and that's huge against KC.
Reid deserves a ton of heat. Obv going for it at the end of the 1H was a bad bad call, but also on Mahomes a bit too for not throwing it away. He refuses to make adjustments, this was a mirror of the first game. Cincy either held their D back in the 1H or they made ridiculous adjustments at half. KC just continued to think they could just bomb it out with big plays.
