That is asking a lot of Mahomes, Brady, Manning, any of them.

The Colts, Steelers, and Titans playoff losses are 100% Andy Reid's fault. I hate Bob Sutton, a lot, but all 3 of those playoff losses are Reid's fault because he refused to run the ball and to run clock. There have been four teams in NFL history to lose a playoff game after having an 18 point or higher lead in the second half, and Reid has 2 of those 4 since taking over in Kansas City.
But today's loss is all on the defense. Sure, Mahomes should have hit at least one of those throws in the first half, but it was his 7th career start, and when it mattered most he put this team ahead in the 4th quarter, after being down 24-9 at half time, against the defending AFC Champions, in their house, against one the five greatest QBs in NFL history.
