Mahomes was just a little bit nervous—
Running routes was not his forte.
He would rather stay back, either helping Li Wei in the pocket by setting a block or running the ball himself with the Read Option Offense, for that was his domain.
Charging to the front lines?
That was not his profession.
But now, the Kansas City Chiefs needed to thoroughly disrupt the rhythm; they couldn't continue to play to the Pittsburgh Steelers' beat.
Otherwise, the Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive group would become more and more adept.
Chaos was the key for the Kansas Chiefs Offense to find their rhythm again.
The timing of a trick play was not random. The focus was on the magic of surprise and firmly seizing the fleeting window of confusion.
So, this had to be done, starting with the quarterback. The entire tactic had to be completely unconventional, including the passing target and the advancement route.
Mahomes knew he needed to step up.
