Oh yikes, just an awful throw from Hurts gets picked but AJ Brown might have ripped that out of there for a fumble. I think Brown's leg touched him while he was down though.

Yeah I think there was leg on leg contact there making him down by contact.

[LinvilleGorge]

And Mahomes returns the favor with an awful INT of his own.

Kelce comes across in motion as a blocker on the jet sweep, wraps both arms around the d-end right in front of the ref.... no call

[LinvilleGorge]

If Mahomes throws that toward the pylon it's an easy TD. That was just a bad throw.

[Silent Majority]

We suck so bad we weren't even part of the NFL's all teams matter Monday night commercial loool damn.

[LinvilleGorge]

It was offsides but I can't believe they missed that DPI.  Mr. Swift definitely got interfered with 

[Anybodyhome]

That's Taylor Kelce to you.

No worries, looks like the Chiefs will get all the help they need from the refs, despite missing a few calls.

[LinvilleGorge]

Teams have to adjust to these pick plays. Gonna have to start switching off of picks like in basketball. If you're picked, you play the picker and the free defender takes the man the pick is being set for. Because unless it's just blatant blocking before the pass the refs let the offense get away with it so defenses have to adjust.

Yep- total pick. Taylor Kelce scores.

If the receiver isn't straight up throwing an outright block it just doesn't get called. Defenses have to adjust. Gotta start switching off on picks if you're playing man. And you gotta call out the pick for your teammate. Play it like basketball. It's essentially a basketball play on a football field.

Hurts looks like Bryce. That’s what happens when you get sacked every play.

It seems like that’d still be easy to exploit. Imagine someone like Kelce getting passed off to like a 5’10 corner in the red zone. Teams would probably just adjust and force mismatches.

It's better than the current situation of a completely blown coverage which is what happens if you don't switch it 

[LinvilleGorge]

I'd be nervous right now if I'm KC. It feels like they're dominating this game far more than the 17-7 score reflects. Seems like failing to translate on field domination to the scoreboard ends up biting you in the ass by the end of the game a lot of times.
