I am surprised to say actually the only part he needs improvement is his long passes to receivers running downfield . Something like Wilson's vertical pass that hit the receiver straight in the bread basket. Mahomes has overthrown or straight up missed on those quite a bit.

Yeah, the long pass thing has been a problem. Part of that has been miscommunication. Last week it looked like Kelce slowed up for some reason. If he just keeps running it hits him in the chest. That little hesitation really hurt. Tyreek has made sudden turns off his routes as well, plus dropped a couple of deep ones. It is a fine line between leading the receiver too much while hoping he stays at the same speed or throwing exactly where he is and risking it knocked away or intercepted.
Wilson has two sure-handed receivers that are excellent at tracking the ball, plus a lot more years experience throwing it. He was "On" that game for sure. I think Mahomes will develop more touch on deep throws as he gets more games under his belt.
