Greenlaw getting hurt definitely opened up a lot for Mahomes in the short passing game. The LBs were taking the middle away early giving the pass rushers time to throw Mahomes off. Burks played well when he first came in to the game but they roasted him on the last couple drives. He is a good 3rd LB but not up to the standard of Warner and Greenlaw.
Filling greenlaws shoes was a big ask and despite burks being a decent serviceable backup he's not greenlaw and Andy Reid/mahomes took advantage of that as you'd expect.
But you could definitely see the difference was night and day between what mahomes was able to get away with against your defense from when greenlaw was on field Vs when he wasn't.
