Mahomes & Allen good vs blitz

In his AFC title game preview, Jared Dubin looks at how good Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen have been against the blitz:

“You don't really want to blitz either one of them, because they will pick apart your defense if you don't have enough defenders in coverage. Allen ranked seventh in the league with a 110.9 passer rating against the blitz this season, per Pro Football Focus and TruMedia, while Mahomes ranked first with an absurd 136.5 rating. They each rarely got sacked when blitzed (3.8 percent of dropbacks for Allen, 2.9 percent for Mahomes), and often made something happen by scrambling away from pressure, which they did quite well throughout the year. Both Allen (121.9) and Mahomes (116.4) lit man coverage on fire this season, displaying the ability to identify the correct receiver and throw him open on the rare occasion that their offensive coaching staffs didn't scheme someone open to begin with.”
