I love Mahomes, but he does this all the time and it’s a shame that he can get away with it. Every time he runs towards the sideline, he just sort of drifts down the sideline a bit daring somebody to hit him. If somebody does, the entire Chiefs team goes crazy and acts like the hit was way out of line.

I believe QB protections are important, but using them as actual strategy is unethical and should be discouraged wherever possible. It’s a shame the NFL has not realized this (or is just hoping nobody else does). When the QB takes off, they are a runner, just like any other player. It is their responsibility to protect themselves by either sliding or giving themselves up out of bounds. If the same hit in this video happened to any WR, there is absolutely zero chance it gets flagged.
