We got Von to try and apply pressure to beat Mahomes. It's just not that simple. He's too good.
This last try, it was Kelce catching all over us, Pacheco running all over us, and the D letting KC score 27. Hopefully the D will be more stout with less LB injuries this year. But it was also our inability to close it out in the clutch. Part of that, imho, was a lack of potency in the passing game. We couldn't get that critical TD when we needed it. Josh threw 39 times and only got 186 yds.
As much as Josh can still do it, we need to start to find alternatives to his playmaking with his legs. It makes up for, and even masks, other deficiencies. He was our leading rusher that game. How many times has he bailed out our lack of a real system or plan, with some crazy individual feat? He won't be able to keep up his whole career.
