Yup. Even a single first down puts you at least 10 yards deeper, possibly a few extra clock burning plays. Reid has done this consistently over his entire career. And he's done it all year with Mahomes, often doing it for an entire half. And it has consistently led to ineffective three and outs, which we know mahomes is capable of avoiding.
