He did some things that prevented potential scores in the 2nd half that would have put the game away awhile ago.

No, I'm not worried. No, I'm not even going to say, "He needs to play better." He'll get it. The game will slow down for him. Defenses are continuing to throw everything and the kitchen sink at him. He's going to spot all of that shit and become a freaking supercomputer. Andy thought Alex had "gigabytes?" He ain't seen nothing like what Pat is going to be. Possibly as early as next season.

But Mahomes got frustrated. He missed open receivers. The pressure rattled him just a bit, and it forced him to get rid of the ball to shorter options that the Patriots could swallow up.

I'm gonna say this again. I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT MAHOMES. He's going to be fine. He's going to continue to play amazing. He's come in the clutch before, and he'll do it MANY more times in the future.

Tonight he was a young QB and didn't deliver in the 4th quarter. That's okay. It's one game. It resulted in a win. He'll be fine. We'll be fine. I'm just calling it like I see it.

You are right - I imagine his injury had alot to do with that and the fact we were playing an elite defense.
