Point is, Mahomes has proven capable of doing his part of the job, whatever may be required. Now we need the defense to do the same.

Yes, we absolutely have to plan for Mahomes NOT putting up 50/5000. The defensive formula is out there for how to contain him, a season's worth of film, etc. We will never have more offensive firepower than we had for the first half of the year (Sammy + Hunt + Hill + Kelce) because offensive salaries are going to skyrocket.
We need to find a DC and the player personnel that can produce a top 15 D.
Offensively we need to work on our short passing game and improve the interior of our OL (guards) who can control the LOS in the running game. You can't expect to throw 30+ yard bombs every drive to score in the playoffs.
D Williams is a solid back, but he's not an every down guy. We need to find someone that can run between the tackles and control the clock. Hunt was the total package obviously, and we need to find the complimentary guy to Williams to complete our RB package.
