Here is a breakdown of his performance under pressure that week:

I’m not letting that bullshit slip by. Mahomes averaged right around 3 seconds to throw per drop back that week, which was third most in the NFL that week.
Again, he had all day.
0 sacks. Only 3 hits on him.
Being “under pressure” is different for every QB. For instance, having Lamar Jackson under pressure probably isn’t the best idea. He’s more dangerous as a runner than a thrower. You’re better off laying back and making him beat you with his arm, which he can’t.
Pressuring Tom Brady is good. He’s a statue and he’ll make you pay with enough time.
Patrick Mahomes is a magician. He’s most dangerous outside the pocket and forcing DBs to leave their assignments. He’s lethal. Mahomes being “under pressure” isn’t a bad thing if he’s not being hit. He was barely touched in that Patriots game.
