Considering how bad the Chiefs and Mahomes looked, I was amazed at how well he protected the ball until it got down to desperation. Honestly, those two throws - one falling forward, and one on his side parallel to the ground are some of the most amazing throws I've ever seen, and they were both almost TDs.
I agree they need to win another FAST - mainly because of contract concerns. You wonder how many guys will be willing to take less than what's available on the open market if they're not winning SBs. On the bright side, I hope this curbs their cockiness a bit and shows them just how hard it actually is to win a Super Bowl.

This Chiefs team is a lot like the late 90's Packers, they had a great all time thrower in Favre and lets face it in today's NFL he would be Mahomes. Favre never got back to the SB after being beat by Elway in the 2nd straight SB they were in. Noticed Favre isn't talked about much anymore, it's because they never made it back. I fear the same will happen to Mahomes, don't be shocked if they finish 3rd in their division next year, superbowl hangovers are legit. Vegas is going to be improved, they beat KC this year, Denver if they ever got a legit QB could give KC a run for their money. KC's defense was horrible in this game and got beat up and proved that if you get in Mahomes face he rushes his throws a la Favre, I take the field in the AFC next year.
