This is every QB's flaw and that's how you win in the NFL.
On defense, you pressure the QB to force them to make mistakes.
On Offense, you run the ball so it neutralizes the pressure.

We need to give the ATL D a lot of credit for dialing up that blitz and executing on the play.

An out to the sideline is a risky throw.
Grant probably does have the best hands on the team but I think teams are starting to sit on his routes since he isn't a threat to run by them.

KC made a great read picking up the blitz but he made a bad decision throwing to Grant. He just isn't going to win his matchup on the outside.

Not having a legit TE hurt us.
This is where guys like Romo and Brady throw to their safety blanket TE's.
