As for the Mahomes TD, lick my balls, I was looking at the middle of the field, and if I had released it sooner it wouldn't have been a TD.

You could've released it a full second sooner and he'd have caught it at the front of the endzone instead of having to drag his feet. Still a TD.
Dude was covered. The only reason he 'uncovered' is that Madden's AI directed the linebacker to the path of the football. Look at where that LB is situated as the throw is released - in stride with Kelce and in underneath position. That throw may have been picked if Smith puts it in the right spot. But since he sailed it, the LB adjusted to the throw rather than the route (odd AI) and went behind Kelce to adjust to the overthrow.
The right choice was Escobar and a new set of downs - easy.
