Reid has to realize that in the post-season that passing the ball TOO much can do more harm than good. You have to have balance on Offense, along with solid Defensive play, is how you advance in the post-season. Damien Williams rushed for 129 yards on 25 carries and averaged 5.2 yards per carry <--- THAT will get it done in the post-season.
As for Mahomes, getting a playoff victory in his first ever playoff start is absolutely HUGE. Dan Marino didn't do it and neither did Turd Elway. But, Joe Montana did & so did Tom Brady, and now Mahomes joins their ranks in that regard.
Defensively, the Chiefs D-Line got the better of the Colts O-Line when it counted the most & the young DB's, Ward and Lucas were major difference makers.
One thing I noticed that was different from all the playoff losses prior to today -- this time it was the enemy kicker that couldn't put the ball through the uprights, instead of the Chiefs kicker.
