Mahomes did great vs Detroit without Kelce.
(green letter)
Yup. Besides that it was the Fields to Cole Kmet connection that ate up chunks of yards in the intermediate passing game, coupled with the running game that set up those big plays to Moore in the first place.
I liked that finally instead of looking at the analytics that show Fields is a good PA QB, and patching together a lame gameplan that has Fields looking for the big plays right out of the gate to no avail, Fields and the offense ran a more complete gameplane instead.
Fields looked great the last two weeks by working the grid, and using one play to set up the next, so on and so forth. Cole Kmet and a quality SLOT are a match up nightmare underneath the deep zone(s).
I like seeing that they are using finally using Kmet more effectively. I hope that Fields feeds him the ball even more. Just like with Mahomes and Kelce, Kmet is a quality big target that can move nicely as well as pluck down those contested 50/50s.
I get why the big plays to Moore get the media hype, but they were set up by an effective running game along with a steady diet of Fields to Kmet.
Up until recently having Kmet on the roster reminded me of having Greg Olson and not using him to his full potential all over again.
If Fields will continue to feed Kmet the ball to set up big plays to Moore, then I really want to believe that Fields will continue to grow as a QB.
