This is why Patrick Mahomes remains Coach Andy Reid’s right hand man and trusted team leader…
Like virtually every NFL fan, Jason Kelce was stunned by Patrick Mahomes’ trick pass to Travis Kelce in a preseason game against the Detroit Lions this weekend.
The Chiefs quarterback was bold enough to attempt a behind-the-back pass on the second drive of the 24-23 home loss on Saturday, surprising the Lions defense, as Kelce successfully made the connection on third-and-3 at the Detroit 33.
The pass was good for 9 yards and a first down, and eventually helped to set up a field goal.
After seeing footage of the play, himself, Jason exclaimed on social media: ‘This son of a gun actually did it!! Magic Mahomes.’
He later added in a response to footage of Mahomes’ post-game interview: ‘If Pat starts throwing behind the back passes every time Travis runs the wrong route, this may be the most exciting year of football to date.
Mahomes has a reputation for making audacious throws over the course of games. The two-time MVP completed several no-look throws last season, along with numerous throws while parallel to the ground as he was getting sacked.
‘That was unnecessary, but beautiful!’ tweeted Quinton Lucas, the mayor of Kansas City, Missouri.
Earlier this year, Mahomes discussed his desire to pull off the behind-the-back pass during a regular season game.
‘I think it was we didn’t play as well offensively enough for me to pull the behind-the-back off this last year,’ the 28-year-old told ‘First Things First’ via KansasCity.com.
‘But it’s no one else’s fault than myself, because coach (Andy) Reid wants me to throw it behind the back more than anyone in the world.
‘And so, he deliberately puts in plays that I have the opportunity to throw the ball behind the back. So, it’s not a coaching thing. It’s me not having that confidence to do it in a game.
‘But one of these games, man, we’ve got to do it,’ Mahomes continued. ‘There’s been too much hype on it. We’ve got to do it and hopefully it’s to Trav’. He’s the best at judging that behind-the-back pass.’
