Also, Dunlap played. He actually took a costly penalty.
Billings looked just fine and broke through the STARTING oline twice, to disrupt and flush Mahomes; as I mentioned the other day (yesterday?), that if it was any pocket guy like a Brady or a Manning, etc., that would've been a sack or, barring a fluke play, OB throw.
Think Billings will have another good year (if healthy) and hopefully we can lock him up long-term, as it appears the light has gone on.
Too bad about Dunlap; he played what, 6 snaps? One of the was the penalty (though Glasgow/Billings/whomever it was, jumped at the same time as well).
Not worried about that jump though; our guys have been quite disciplined for hard counts, since the gaffe in 2010 by Sims (MJ in 2017 against the Packers was NOT offside, but they called it anyways).
