That's a young gunslinger QB mistake. Take the good with the bad at this point obviously, but that and throwing off his back foot need to become less and less.

Yeah, in real time I tried to defend that as the contact messing up the play.
Nope - Mahomes just goofed. It happens. The only play to make there was to tuck it and run with it. Definitely a mistake on his part and despite all the good he did, it was a mistake that cost us a likely victory. He tucks that ball and runs it, we're inside the two minute warning needing a TD to take the lead.
I think we'd have pulled it off. Definitely a growing pain there.
