Film room: How Chiefs short passing game broke Raiders’ defense

Patrick Mahomes threw for nearly 300 passing yards and two touchdowns during the Kansas City Chiefs’ 31-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. However, unlike in years past, it wasn’t the deep shots that did the Raiders in against Mahomes and company this time around.

According to Pro Football Focus, Mahomes only attempted one pass over 20 yards past the line of scrimmage in Las Vegas and said throw fell harmlessly incomplete. But on attempts from zero to 19 yards, the quarterback was 19 for 21 with 260 yards and that’s the range where both scores came from.
