“A few. So obviously a few,” Collinsworth said. “He missed some throws. That's what he did for the Pick Six. He didn't have any good first half, he just didn't. Not only had to be good, he had to be great, and perhaps he could not even be great enough to win this game.”
Mahomes finished his loss on Sunday, finishing with 21 completions on 32 passing attempts for 257 yards and three touchdown passes, and also threw two intercepts.
The Chiefs QB was fired six times for a 31-yard loss.
