Pressure him but don’t let him get too far outside the tackle box. He kept trying last year but we played him wide and forced him backwards and to reverse field consistently. we frustrated the heck out of him with Hubbard and Hendrickson nonstop motors. Forced him to make mistakes

Lessons are learned when we get to play a similar QB in Lamar Jackson twice year. The challenge of course is that Mahomes is a far better passer than Jackson.

The team had gotten better at dealing with TEs since Tre Flowers joined the team. The goal is to minimize the damage cause the odds are against them stopping Kelce entirely. Tackling will be the key.
