So the Chiefs consistently have some of the lowest pressure rates on pass plays under 2.5 seconds (second in the NFL in 2019). Fortunately for offensive line coach Andy Heck and the Kansas City offensive line, one of the traits that makes Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes great is his ability to make plays on the move.
