Which Underdog Will Shock the NFL in This Weekend’s Conference Championship Showdowns?
Blitzing Mahomes can be a dangerous proposition. Like Allen, Mahomes is a master improviser and can create big plays if he can escape the pocket. He has thrown an NFL-high 134 attempts while on the move this season, and he found an open target on 85.1% of those passes.
On the other hand, Mahomes was pressured more than ever this year and was sacked a career-high 36 times. He had a 90.6 passer rating against the blitz during the regular season, ranking 24th in a stat he used to dominate.
The Bills, however, do not blitz much. Buffalo has brought extra rushers on just 23.7% of snaps; only five teams blitzed less frequently. Even on third downs, when defensive coordinators love to turn up the heat, the Bills blitzed at a below-average rate.
