He starts out saying Mahomes is fine and then later in the interview he says, "He [Mahomes] will start and Andy will watch him closely to see how Patrick is doing, and if he's putting himself in danger or making the injury worse then Hennie will go in."
We've beaten KC 3-times with a 100% healthy Mahomes, so we just need to prepare for him to be 100%. I do think a guy to watch out for is Jerick McKinnon. McKinnon is the better back for picking up the blitz, so he'll be out there more to protect Patrick. Isiah Pacheco is clearly the more productive back, but McKinnon will see the field more due to it being his job to pass block for Mahomes. I expect them to also play the screen game with Mahomes in the shotgun to McKinnon, b/c we're going to take the Kelce option away.
