And yet, if you ask Kyle Shanahan, as some reporters did, he believes the pride of Texas Tech is still as good as ever and won’t be taking him lightly in Week 7.
“I think everyone says down-year just because their numbers aren’t just crazy, but Pat is as good as it gets. He’s been as good as it gets since the first year that he got to play. All their games, I think, except for one, have come down to the last possession, and he’s as good as anyone in that last possession. Their running numbers aren’t quite what they were last year. Their red zone isn’t real high. So I think that equates to numbers, but Pat is Pat, and he’s as good as it gets, and I don’t see that changing at all.”
Is Shanahan wise to keep respecting Mahomes? You bet, as all it takes is a few plays a week for the former MVP to once again make a passing defense look silly, as he proved last week against New Orleans.
