They played at Arrowhead in 2016 against a better chefs defense. Mahomes really is the only change in that team between then and now. And we know the Jags are a better “team” than then with the right pieces in place. Aside from Mahomes throwin up a few prayers, I don’t see this one meeting the media hype. The Jags win this handily.

The shift from 2016 Alex Smith to 2018 Mahomes is a colossol change that renders that 2016 game pretty pointless analysis wise. I guess you could say they are used to arrowhead now but this atmosphere and hype will be several tiers above 2016 too.

I agree to a point, but that team was arguably better than this chefs team, especially on defense. This is the same hype you get with every new spread/scrambling QB as of late and we all know that eventually it tails off. Heck, the new rules in place now even help with the hype train. Nothing like a little basketball on grass! Eventually patting the ball, throwing cross body into traffic and throwing up no look prayers is going to catch up to him. Why not now? Also, the media hype over whether or not our defense can cover their offense is crazy. Tyreek was on that previous team and Kelce was on that previous team. I think Kelce was eventually ejected because of the defensive pressure. Anyways, the hype is unreal but I think the game itself fails to deliver. If the Jags defense plays smart and the Jags O is just halfway competent...it's a win in my opinion.
