Still looks like a Sutton Defense...

The fact that we have Mahomes makes a gambling defense soooooo much more of a good strategy. Think about it - late in the game if we gamble and lose - quick score, defense not exhausted, and maybe we can score last. If we gamble and win - game over.

Sutton was a master at setting up his defense to give up the slow, clock-eating, soul-destroying drive late in the game. No big plays though! He was such a pussy when it came to any kind of blitz or gambling defense. He kept pretending he had '85 Bears talent, and was too old to adapt. His defenses played not to be embarrassed.

but yet even avoiding embarrasment, that backfired
