blowout

Maybe the fact that so much went wrong in a blowout victory was the most encouraging development for a team that wants to win it all.

"You want to have some blowouts,'' said Mahomes. "I would love to win a game before the very last play.''

He scored 18 in a blowout loss to Cleveland, but the bulk of that came with the game already over.

This scene was reminiscent of the 31-point blowout in Arizona earlier this season.

The opinion polls had Kamala Harris and Donald Trump essentially tied for months with the margin of error showing that either side could have had a blowout.
