On the next possession, he struck for another long play - this one to receiver Sammy Watkins who torched the 49ers premier defensive back, Richard Sherman, at the line of scrimmage and got behind him for the easiest 38-yard catch he'll ever make. We all did.”Īfter the touchdown that made it 20-17, it took all of three plays for the Chiefs defense to get the ball back to Mahomes. The guys around him just believed in him. “We knew it would be a close game, and there would be some challenges,” Reid said. Mahomes, the quarterback who coach Andy Reid handpicked and traded away draft picks to get, was supposed to change all that.īut when the smoke cleared from J-Lo and the third quarter started, he was no better.

Three times during this postseason, Mahomes and the Chiefs have trailed by 10 points or more, and all three times they've come back to win by double-digits themselves.
