I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

This is what I believe will ultimately separate Joe Burrow from Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes is otherworldly gifted, but Burrow has the acumen we haven’t seen since Brady and plays the game at that cerebral a level. In playoffs, where mistakes are magnified, can be difference maker https://t.co/6cUJWEhnW0

Burrow knocked this guys tonsils down his throat. :-) [Reply]

Oh you must be referring to when Joe was carried by his defense but still came up big in clutch moments leading his team to a title. Oh wait.... :-) [Reply]
I think a more correct way of describing it is: Mahomes realized he could rely on his defense and didn't need to put on his super-hero cape every game. [Reply]

Unlike floral suit boy, Mahomes has nothing left to prove. It's okay if he leans on his defense a bit in 1 season out of 6.
And if he had Chase/Higgins/Boyd, rather than a bunch of dudes who don't run proper routes or catch the ball, I don't think he'd be leaning on the D much. :-) [Reply]

I’m glad to see it! Patrick did not get this type of help in earlier seasons.
That said, Mahomes this year had a very strong 87/100 Playoff QBR grade. The MVP Lamar Jackson had a regular season 65/100 QBR. Last year Mahomes won MVP with a 79/100 QBR and followed it up with 84/100 QBR in the Playoffs.
Joe Burrow’s QBR was graded 51/100 and 54/100 for Cincy’s playoff runs following the 2021 and 2022 seasons. [Reply]

Mahomes stats from his 'carried by defense' year is better than Joe Burrow's best post-season run ending in a Super Bowl loss. :-)
Arguable. Mahomes had less yards, less ypa, 1% better on comp% and 1 more td pass on 7 more attempts. He was also sacked 5 times to Burrow's 19. And all that was with 1 more quarter of play for Mahomes. [Reply]

How about rushing plays? Mahomes has done some pretty critical stuff with his legs on 3rd and 4th down in the Playoffs this season. [Reply]
