Episode notes
Mahomes' Fighter-Pilot Vision
- Patrick Mahomes shows near-unmatched spatial awareness and 'fighter pilot' vision that enables improvisational playmaking.
- Greg Cosell argues this vision may be the best he's ever seen and is central to Mahomes' greatness.
Bills Need More Traditional Drop-Backs
- Buffalo's recent offense has been inconsistent and too reliant on short gains and runs to beat Kansas City's defense as played recently.
- Cosell says Josh Allen must return to calmer, more composed drop-back play and likely throw 30–40 times in that matchup.
Why Steelers' Pass Defense Falters
- Pittsburgh's pass defense struggles stem from a lack of consistent pass rush and poor cornerback play.
- Cosell identifies the combination of weak rush and subpar cornering as the primary cause of their high passing yards allowed.
