Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes can push the ball downfield and make any throw on the football field. While that certainly can’t be taken for granted, the Green Bay Packers defense has to be prepared to limit the yards after catch (YAC) potential from the Chiefs skill position players on short area throws.
Only 10.2 percent of Mahomes pass attempts this season have been throws of 20 or more yards, which ranks 27th in the NFL. However, Mahomes ranks first in passes behind the line of scrimmage, according to PFF, and seventh in pass attempts from 0-to-9 yards.
