Rush more and play tighter coverage. Don't give up anything underneath. Force him to beat us with the deep ball because, with him not being able to plant and throw as well, his deep ball with be greatly affected.

The Bengals should prepare to play a 100 percent Mahomes, no doubt, but removing mobility from his game is a bigger deal than some might want to admit.  

If their training staff shoots that leg up with tramadol and lidocaine, he won't feel much pain, but he also won't feel the damned leg.  That won't exactly do wonders for his mechanics.  The predicted freezing cold temps won't be any fun for him, either.  KC might have been better off with the neutral-site game in a 75 degree dome.

He'll throw balls high because he won't be able to plant and follow through. Hopefully it leads to some turnovers.

Yeah, bring the house and force him to get rid of the ball and cover things near the line. Dare him to throw deep.
