I tried to force the ball to Trav, and if I just kind of get through my read, the last read is Kenneth on the route out of the backfield. If you give it to him, he has a chance to score a touchdown there.

STACKED’s take

Mahomes forced early reads to Kelce and Worthy; missed open Walker and Thornton on backside routes.

Mahomes identified specific early-game misreads: on the first pass, he forced the ball to Travis Kelce when Kenneth Walker was wide open on a route out of the backfield with a chance to score; on a third-down incompletion, he forced to Xavier Worthy as his first read when Tyquan Thornton won on a backside route with better coverage. Mahomes acknowledged the need to trust his full read progression and find the free guy with better leverage and matchup rather than forcing early reads.
