The problem becomes in compensation. Because if Thomas is unhappy with his current contract with the Seahawks, it seems logical he’d remain unhappy with that contract somewhere else.

Patrick Mahomes fakes a handoff to the back while simultaneously flipping it to Tyreek Hill streaking across the formation. The offensive line takes a step to its right, which makes the defense think they’re running an outside zone to the right. That gives the blockers a good angle to seal off the defense for the play in the other direction. With Hill’s speed, all he needs is that second of hesitation by the defense to score.

3. Patrick Mahomes
Heading into Week 3, I hoped Mahomes would extend plays with his legs, and he certainly did that, specifically on one play in the second quarter. On third-and-goal at the 4-yard line, Mahomes scrambled left then right -- running a total of 35.7 yards before making the throw, per Next Gen Stats -- and fired an absolute dart to Chris Conley in the back of the end zone. He did this sort of thing all the time at Texas Tech, and it’s so fun to watch. If I’m a defensive coordinator with the Chiefs on my schedule, I’m nervous.

Battista reported that there will be a discussion next week, but members are “unsure” if immediate changes will be made. ESPN’s Dan Graziano reported something similar, confirming that some members are concerned and that there is a call scheduled. Changes aren’t expected to come this year, Graziano added.
