I mean he had a sack-fumble Mahomes just dribbled it to himself somehow because he's a witch

it's extremely hard to cut a game the way Detroit had to cut it tonight -- taking the air out of the ball, trying to keep Mahomes on the bench -- and survive offensive mistakes. Lions have made quite a few tonight, more than they have in a minute.

Detroit had three defenders on one WR there, less than ideal

Collinsworth actually nailed that one -- Chiefs wouldn't get into nickel when Detroit was in 11 because they knew what was coming and the Lions tried it anyway.

Lions trying to force some stuff offensively and the Chiefs have stepped up the physicality.

Mahomes' foot speed, core strength and balance are all just not of this world

semi-related -- it'll never not be hilarious to me that the Lions proposed a rule change to lessen the penalty for defensive holding. The Lions, the literal Kings of Defensive Holding

Nick Baumgardner @nickbaumgardner.bsky.social · 2h

A, that was defensive holding, B at best
