With further analysis of their passing strategies, the concept of running choice routes and how the ball was distributed came under scrutiny. Travis Kelce, a key player, struggled to connect effectively with Mahomes, contributing to the missed opportunities.

Examples included missed potential first-down conversions. If he had made precise throws, they could have swung the momentum and changed the trajectory of the game. Instead, the misalignment in execution—as seen in throwing behind Kelce—demonstrated how minor errors escalate in significant moments, particularly in a high-stakes game like the Super Bowl.
