just hit him if he is near the sideline. I think that it is dangerous for QBs to not slide when defensive players expect them to. The Eagles QB has a habit of not sliding when defenders expected him to, it worked to get him some good gains, but eventually defenders starting hitting him if he was not clearly sliding. Cam Newton can likely blame his injury issues on his habit of taking on defenders downfield. Defensive backs lose their jobs by allowing offensive players to run past them regularly, so them hitting out of fear of losing their jobs become the norm.

Mahomes is a wonderful passer and he has good weapons downfield, KC should focus on using that interspersed with runs by runningbacks.
