Patrick Mahomes doesn't need much to exploit an advantage. Early in the AFC championship game, he was finding many of them against a hapless Bills defense.
Mahomes was driving the Chiefs, up 7-3, for what looked like an unstoppable second touchdown of the first quarter. Mahomes had fumbled earlier in the sequence, but an offsides penalty on Buffalo negated the play. The second one, however, came on a muffed run option handoff. Mahomes initially appeared to recover it, but, prior to the whistle, and the standard fumble dogpile, Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver reached in and took it away from Mahomes.
Buffalo was able to convert the drive into points, as James Cook took a handoff six yards for the Bills' first touchdown of the game. After the fumble, the Bills drove 72 yards on 10 plays for the score.
The play halted the Chiefs' offense, which had racked up six plays of 10 yards or more at that point in the game. It gave Josh Allen and the Bills the ball back, and saved what could have been a significant hole early in the game.
