How Mahomes Managed Against the Ravens' Defense

Mahomes toed the line between exceptional and safe brilliantly in AFC Championship

Let’s get this out of the away before anyone misconstrues anything that will be said in the remainder of this article: Patrick Mahomes is a not a “game manager” in any sense of the word.

That phrase comes with a lot of often negative connotations about the ability of a quarterback. That style is viewed as a risk averse player who will help a team win a game, but not aggressive enough to make big plays to win his team a game.

Game managers are incapable of making some of the remarkable plays we saw Mahomes make in the two early touchdown drives the Chiefs put together — and ultimately was the difference in their advancement to the Super Bowl.
