I mean, we put 31 on the Hood in a half. I just don't know what you can do.

Did you see some of the throws that Mahomes had to make to do that? Lord, just look at his last two throws to tie the game back up. Mahomes went into God mode and when he's there, nobody is going to stop him or really even slow him down.
But Tom Brady wasn't in God mode. He was throwing picks with a clean jersey. He completed maybe 3 or 4 passes the whole game that had a genuine degree of difficulty (not including the one that Hogan just flat tore from the heavens...****ing Hogan).
I don't expect a DC that can go out there and shut down a guy who's playing unconscious football. But I would expect one that can at least say "well hell, maybe an 18 yard shell to a team that will GLADLY body punch me to death isn't a great idea afterall..."
My bar's not that high here, man. Brady wasn't playing out of his mind on Sunday - the Chiefs just made it far too easy for him. If Brady had been playing the Patriots defense and Mahomes playing the Chiefs defense, that game is 50 something to 20 something.
