It’s worth remembering who he’s throwing to when we criticize Mahomes’ struggles with his deep ball so far. His best wide receivers in this game are Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Both solid options, don’t get me wrong, but the absences of guys like Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy go a long way to explaining the struggles of the Chiefs’ deep passing game. On top of that, none of those guys have the skill and speed of a prime Tyreek Hill, who remains the most electric receiver Mahomes has played with in his career.
