Maxx CrosbyThe key to defending Patrick Mahomes is keeping him in the pocket and hitting him all game
You have to be coordinated. You have to do your absolute best... everything in your power and energy, every fiber in your body to keep [Mahomes] in the pocket. If he keeps plays alive, that's where he is magical. He does all the crazy shit. Throws the left-handed and he just finds people. But if you keep 'em in the pocket, that's your best bet. And I'm not saying it's a hundred percent's gonna stop him, but that's your best chance... you have to hit him all game and make him uncomfortable.
Mahomes was pressured frequently in the Super Bowl and kept largely in the pocket until the final drive where his scrambling ultimately won the game.
