Arrowheadlines: The deep ball isn’t clicking

Why the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes-Xavier Worthy deep-ball game isn’t clicking | The Athletic

Soon after, Mahomes felt disgusted. He grabbed a tablet and rewatched the All-22 view of the Chiefs’ first-down snap early in the second quarter of their defeat to the Bills.

“If I throw it in bounds, it’s a walk-in touchdown,” Mahomes said of his longest pass in Sunday’s game. “I just have to be better there.”

Technically, Mahomes’ deep pass was in the field of play by about a yard. But rookie receiver Xavier Worthy failed to keep both feet in bounds while catching the ball, leading to perhaps the Chiefs’ most critical incompletion.
