The chemistry of the Chiefs is better than ever. That three TE set is killer I noticed it week one. Forston and Grey quietly are making great plays and Kelce is just that good.

[@Wonderrbread01]

Fortson had some huge blocks on some of those Kelce TDs

[@TheGoodChap]

I love our whole TE group a lot i kind of with they ran more 13 package plays idk I like those. Of course kelce is my fav but gray and fortsen have been.doing exactly what we need them to at the right time

[@CharlieRogers50]

Love the Chiefs content. We may be watching one of the greatest QBs and TEs ever in their prime. The thing I love about your breakdowns is you help us to step inside the mind of these guys. Mahomes gets a ton of credit for being athletic and having a strong arm and because of that people forget how elite he is at processing pre and post snap, and how he's able to tie that processing in with unique movement skills. I think it's a special trait that separates him from some of the other good young QBs in the league i.e. Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, etc. Good work JT!

[@TheSmurfWithASurf]

He’s the greatest I’ve ever seen.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Lol, I love #24’s petulant ‘spike’ during Kelce’s Deon/LT celebration. Also, on that throw to 88. I’d generally be inclined to agree with you, but I’ve seen Patrick make jaw dropping throws too many times to doubt it. But you’re right-If he did miss it, he’s never telling anyone, lol..

[@bwp253]

One of the sickest in-structure throws I've ever seen from Mahomes. FWIW I don't think Mahomes sails one so high that Kelce doesn't at least go for it.

[@rjs617]

There’s no way that was a miss. It didn’t sail high. It was driven downfield right into the receiver’s arms. It didn’t look to me like Kelce was looking for the ball either.

[@88wildcat]

Yeah, I don't think Mahomes has ever overthrown Kelce by seven yards. Another thing, on that 3rd and 7 where he completed that out to Skyy Moore if he would have thrown the underneath to Kelce cutting back against the grain Kelce would have had at least a twenty yard gain.

[@rhythmjones]

The blocking by Fortson and Watson on that 2nd Kelce TD

[@MADNESS084]

Fortson was blocking his ass off all night. Our offense got even better when he came back. He’s such a mismatch blocking downfield

[@Kyle36147]

Everyone called that MVS catch a push off. Definitely a good no call with the CB grabbing him up high. The throw to 88 was just to perfect for me to believe it wasn't intentional.

[@yunqanqel]

Exactly idk what JT talking about he literally never looks at Kelce. Eyes was on Fortson the whole play… ball look like it had a magnet going straight to Fortsons hand

[@MADNESS084]

Absolutely his eyes were on Fortson, it’s obvious. I think he’s just baiting comments lol

[@dereksmidl8352]

It definitely was he was locked on Fortson the entire time. Treats him like kelce just trusts he’s going to always win and that ball placement was spectacular. Week 1 to kelce was still his best pin point pass all season between 6 hands lol

[@blackmamba7732]

@@yunqanqel you do realize both of them were in his cone of vision, so to say he wasn't looking at Kelce is false. You will never know who he intended to throw that to, and you never will. Try not to bait yourself again.

[@chuw9325]

great to watch as always ... about the "LoL dime" to J, Fortson: If you take the throws to him from last season into count, before he tore his Achilles, you probably would be less convinced that Kelce might have been the target. He was a goto receiver for Mahomes until his severe injury and 15 has Incredible trust in this guy, as he was "Moss-ing" CBs etc.

[@mjl4010]

HE WAS THROWING IT TO FORTSON. You see Kelce barely glance back and as soon as he recognized the trajectory he looked at Jody scoop in the most perfect pass I've ever seen. That's my story. ;-)

[@goodsbys0120]

Yes, the way they showed it on the telecast he threw it because the backer was not looking at all. That's why it was a bullet pass instead of a lob.

[@MADNESS084]

Pats eyes went right to fortson, I think this guy just baited comments

[@TheRealFLDB]

@The QB School I read on a tweet I think from Damien Williams, that when he was on the team Patrick Mahomes would have them practice catching the balls with their eyes closed and arms outstretched. The accuracy of that throw there is no way he accidentally overthrew Kelce by that much, this is something they practice!

[@tylerprince3496]

Let's not forget kelce is 33 years old and there was talk among chiefs fans about how kelce needs to get less touches to save him for the playoffs, dude ain't slowing down lol he's still that guy at 33. He's playing like he's 26 again being a number one option. Insane. And he already has 11 TDs which ties his single season career high, he might break gronks record of 17 when it's all said and done.

[@marcemarc6516]

[@frankmiranda6274]

I love the QB school videos. They cover every angle of the play and keep me interested and wanting more. Great job

[@jonnyfevertv3170]

That “crazy” throw way the throw of the year. I think even the wr was surprised! It was placed in a manor where you couldn’t ot catch it. The coverage was perfect. Really amazing (underrated) play. Best throw of the year, all qbs and games considered.

[@rodneysmith603]

Supreme content. I send these to my dad whenever you put out a video on the Chiefs and he loves it. Thanks JT.

[@Larry30102]

Great job with the analyses. And to think this is just one game. WOW. I’ve been a KC fan since the mid 60’s, and I’m so grateful for these moments.

[@nopeteys2424]

That throw to Fortson was absolutely NOT a overthrow that was meant to go to Kelce, if you can find the shot from the back of Mahomes it makes no sense why he would of thrown to Kelce and overthrew him by almost 15 yards and it magically landed perfectly in Fortson’s hands. It was just a dime.

[@InertSinner]

Finally a pat mahomes qb school video been waiting on this one

Great content, as a fan of great qb play.I must say, I've been waiting for your pretty solid analysis....

[@jeffreyhailey2941]

Its funny, a guy makes such a unbelievable throw you can't wrap your brain around it. I think he was aiming for Fortson imo

[@rhythmjones]

The MVS one is not a push-off lmao. Illegal contact for sure. He bear-hugged him.

[@spiderwebb222]

Kind of think it should be offsetting penalties really, but it never ever gets called that way, they always let both fouls go in that case

[@wagnsprinter]

This kid is so special I have never seen anything close to what he does constantly... Blows my mind literally every week

[@kavellifrancois1794]

You really think Mahomes would sail a throw that badly to Kelce? He threw it to Fortson bc it was where it needed to go bc like you said, their routes clash and there were 3 db's in the area. He threw that ball against 1 db, not into double coverage which is what throwing to Kelce would have been.

[@donarmstrong2182]

I agree with you, he threw to JF because JF could have scored.

[@johneichsteadt4432]

88 was definitely his target on the deep ball. If you watch Mahomes post-snap, he's locked in on him as soon as the defender gets bumped off. It's also a drive shot. With the defender underneath Kelce, he would have layered the hole shot.

[@squidwarddeep5064]

it looks like the play was designed to get 88 in single coverage on the wheel route and he’s a mis match at 6’6, i agree i think mahomes was locked in on 88 the entire time once he realized the coverage

[@jacobtuttle6063]

Trey Smith pancaking that blitzing Charger on the first pass is just chefs kiss

[@blackmamba7732]

What a great game that was. Thanks for the break down. I love your vids

[@raybooth2328]

I totally get your point in that wheel route however if he was throwing to Kelce he overthrew him by about 15 yards - I see what your saying but the best QB in the game threw a perfect ball OR he overthrew his WR by 15 yards and got lucky. Love love love your videos keep dropping new ones. Thanks man

[@Adam-pk9ro]

[@eddiemeekin9180]

On the fortson catch. I can see what you mean. But I just don’t see a sailed pass landing in the bucket in stride like it did like are you kidding me? That would be insaaaaaaaane

You commentary is LEGENDARY

[@TheGaryartgood]

High step Tea cup Spike!!😂

[@joaquinsolis7071]

One of the criticisms of Alex smith is that he went with the check down and not the riskier bigger throw. I believe 100% Mahomes wanted fortson on that throw. He’s the opposite of smith when it comes to these situations. He’s not afraid to go after the bigger play.

[@dionterobertson4356]

Highly doubt the throw to J. Fortson was mistake, because if you look at the safety, he kind of was clashing down on Kelce. Which left Kelce into double coverage and leaving fortson 1 on 1. Mahomes made the right decision and a hell of a throw

[@nishuyr3160]

The rest of the NFL: Don't try that throw. You'll never make it. Patrick Mahomes: Hold my beer. Ever so casual flick of the wrist.

[@jaha777jaha6]

Mahomes is so athletic in the pocket with a huge arm to go along with it, he's been getting it done all season and making up for hill not being there, gronk and Brady are on notice as a duo, Patrick and Travis are dynamic, didn't recognize it during the game but the chargers defense looking bad 😳 out there, idk if it was the scheme, fatigue or the players but they weren't in position a lot gotta fix that

[@ronskullie9380]

The thing with Mahomes is he doesn't have to crank it to ripe it,if he was a hockey player,u would say he has the best wrist shot and snapshot.

[@ForrestFairie]

Completely right on that throw to 88. If it was anyone else I would say he missed 87, but no way 15 misses that badly, especially when 87 has his back turned most of the way.

[@brendapolk1604]

Excellent!, thank you so much for your suburb and complete explanation of the game. Very informative and helpful. 🏈🏆

[@TheQBSchool]

You're very welcome!

[@goodsbys0120]

First time on you Channel!! Amazing breakdowns!

[@billmccaffrey1977]

I have said for a long time, the defense has to knock Kelce hard (block him) at the line to have a chance. He's Mahomes security blanket and #1 target. It's like throwing at a billboard mounted on an old school muscle car. Make it a 10 on 10 game and your odds are better.

[@donarmstrong2182]

Who is going knock him hard? He is 6'5 265, and does not lineup next to the tackle. Who? The safety? Put a linebacker out there? I understand the chiefs don't use Kelce to throw blocks on the line, but kelce is a bad dude. He is very big and strong, you are not going to rough him up with safeties and linebackers.

[@rhythmjones]

What was 49 doing on the 3rd Kelce play. It wasn't a dog, it looked like he was trying to cover McKinnon, who's blocking. So either dog or peel back. If he peels back he disrupts the throwing lane.

I love watching the completed passes as much as anyone, but I remember more than one screw-up in this game, and would enjoy some breakdowns of those as well. Maybe they aren't as interesting (?) but the mistakes are where we really learn what can be improved....and you hinted at one possibly lucky accident at around 9:00 in the video for example.

[@b1foschiefs]

I think it was designed to get Fortson open for a touchdown and I don’t think there’s anyway he missed Kelce by that much.

[@fatelvishguy6386]

I’m sorry, I have a hard time believing that 15 missed Kelce by that far but coincidentally hits the 1 and only spot that Grey could possibly pull it in. That’s too lucky.

[@marcemarc6516]

On the RPO quick pass that’s super fast. The line doesn’t drive, like they fire off but there’s no push after initial contact. Makes me think it’s pass all the way just because of how quick he gets it out. If anyone can read it that fast and then throw it, it’s definitely him but it’s just crazy how he throws off balance all the time

[@jasonensley887]

On that play that you think may be an overthrow. It looks like he is looking at Fortson before he lets the ball go. Thats just what I see.

[@benjaminwachold3736]

Patrick Mahomes does not get enough credit for his mental acuity, and how fast he processes information, and he also has a photographic memory so he seems to know what’s going to happen before he throws the ball 🏈. He is incredibly mentally talented as much as his physical tools. I wonder how he’s able to control the velocity of the ball 🏈 so that it travels the correct distance at the appropriate speed.

I saw him throw to hardman on 3rd and 20 in 2019 on a 50-yard rope so I fully believe that he could hit Fortson down the line and not throw 10 yards over Kelsey's head

[@JayrodTremonki]

He 100% was throwing to Fortson. It was on a rope and he realized he had his jump ball playmaker on a defender with his back to the ball.

[@csb78nm]

1:46 on the clock, two time outs and everyone was saying "you left Mahomes too much time." Yes, yes they did. Mahomes the ultimate triggerman and Reid the ultimate play designer. That last TD was the same play/concept they used in OT last year. You'd think the defense would learn.

[@bradleyhoward9638]

Fortson was running vertically Kelce was running horizontally. Usually when a quarterback overthrows the receiver it's either because the quarterback was under pressure which he wasn't or the receiver is running vertically at least partially vertically. I do not think he was throwing to Kelce because he would have overshot him by 8 yards and I don't think he does that when he knows on the vertical axis where Kelce is going to be because he's only really moving horizontally.

[@TheForeverRanger]

I have long said Mahomes is a short stop playing QB with how he can throw off platform so well.

[@JJean-on2lk]

Yes,but he was also a pitcher. He averaged 98 mph pitches.

[@ronskullie9380]

That's not a push off, the defensive player is holding Kelse way past the five yard contact,it should be a penalty on the defensive player.

[@TheQBSchool]

Lol

[@BlueCheeseCrumbles]

On the pass to Fortson, when does mahomes EVER miss by that much though? Also to me his windup on that throw tells me he's intentionally throwing to the boundary

[@jeffmills4881]

don't get me wrong, i love the video... but you've absolutely lost your mind if you think that throw might have been going to Kelce. 1000:1 I don't see what you're seeing. Kelce wasn't that open. And Patrick wasn't missing anyone by 5-10 yards w his feet planted and absolutely NO pressure on the play.

[@TheJFerg24]

7:53 You've heard of dropping dimes, but have you heard of dropping microns?

[@04dcd]

Like you said, only Mahomes knows if that fortson pass was lucky but if he sailed that it would be a pretty bad miss for him. The spacing is weird but that was a solid ten yards "off". Also the fact that Kelce doesn't even react to the pass makes me think he didn't have Pat's eyes and knew it wasn't to him. Either way I'll take it haha.

[@04dcd]

Its 🏀⚾🏈 BaketBaseFootball= Mahomes#15💪🏻

[@Don-md6wn]

It looks to me like the Chargers were leaving too much empty space in the middle of the field just past the line of scrimmage for Kelce and others to run crossing patterns. I would think a DC would try using a fast LB or safety as a spy in the middle of the field 5 yards ore so off the line of scrimmage who could go after Mahomes on a delayed blitz when he started moving around and/or the receivers running crossing routes had cleared behind him. On the scramble plays, Mahomes just had too much time and space to move around and scan the field. If you let him pump fake and go through 2 or 3 options after he's out of the pocket you have no chance. Staley is a defensive coach but Kelce beat the Chargers on the game winner with the same route he beat them with in a game last season.

[@amorris18]

Why does the scoreboard say KC 23-30 LA during the last drive?

[@greyklopstock7155]

Patrick Mahomes singlehandedly makes defenses halfway irrelevant. It's impossible to play good defense for more than maybe 15 seconds before things break down. And that's being extremely generous. And even if you do play good defense, he completes passes anyway. You cannot beat him. You cannot outsmart him. If he has even a remotely decent offensive line, you just have to hope he gets greedy. He wins over twice the amount of games he loses. The best you can hope for playing against the chiefs is that you survive. As a niners fan, I know that too well. You cannot rely on officiating to pick up on things when you need it to, and you cannot make any mistakes or miss any opportunities on offense against them. By the time your pass rushers get to Mahomes, the ball is already out of he's secured the first down.

[@mikeydeezel3711]

The pass to Fortson was prime Mahomes🤓 I can see your point though

[@Jayhawker2000]

9:30 Fortson was more open. That your eyes are telling you Kelce is more open goes a long way in explaining your career TD/INT ratio. Suggesting he meant to throw it to Kelce and accidentally dropped a perfect dime to Fortson is quite possibly the silliest thing I've ever heard you say on this channel.

As a Chiefs fan it seems like the way they coordinate the run game, these options are all P-R-O ... It seems like Mahomes is pretty solid at reading defense on passing situations but lacks in the run game.

[@JohnnyZeroBoo]

Mahomes seems to think... Well this won't be a good pass... Here you go RB... RB blown up immediately
