Predictably, Davis struggled in his starting debut. Making your first NFL start against Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, and the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium is probably the most daunting challenge you can draw up for a young safety.
Davis lines up as the boundary side safety in a Cover-2. Kansas City brings Mecole Hardman in motion pre-snap and gives him a pop pass on the jet sweep to Davis’ side. Davis takes far too much of an outside angle and lets Hardman dash straight up the field for a touchdown.
