Los Angeles only blitzed Raiders QB Derek Carr on 23.8% of his dropbacks last week, but was still able to ramp up the pressure using just its front four, led by Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack. In addition to the five sacks the Bolts recorded, Carr only managed four pass attempts of 20+ yards — going 1-for-4 with two interceptions.
Carr was impatient and forced a few passes downfield, resulting in two of his three picks. Mahomes, however, showed he was more than content to slowly work down the field, taking advantage of whatever WR mismatch he has had to continuously move the chains. Lots of short/intermediate completions will add up over the game, which makes me love the Over 25.5 completions on Thursday night.
Yes, the Bolts have some new faces on defense from last season. However, they are still operating the same defensive scheme as last season, which Mahomes had no trouble scoring on, and we saw last week that L.A. still has some things to tighten up in pass coverage.within the Top 88 CBs for Week 1, while Derek Carr threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns despite getting sacked five times and getting picked thrice — and the Chiefs' signal-caller is unlikely to give the ball away so frequently.
