The highlight of the Kansas City Chiefs‘ preseason loss to the Detroit Lions was a spectacular behind-the-back pass from Patrick Mahomes. In addition to showcasing Mahomes’ extraordinary talent and inventiveness, this surprising play quickly went viral and enthralled both players and fans.
The Memorable Performance
When Travis Kelce took the incorrect route during the first half, Mahomes didn’t give up on the play; instead, he made an unbelievable snap decision that stunned the entire stadium. He threw the ball behind his back to Kelce, who made a low throw but still managed to secure a critical first down. Later on, Mahomes clarified that the play was not an attempt to “show off,” but rather a result of his “frustration” with Kelce, underscoring his dedication to victory.
The Overall Performance of Mahomes
Mahomes demonstrated his skill beyond the highlight-reel performance, tossing for 93 yards in just two series and leading the Chiefs to two touchdowns. Even though Jake Bates’ last-second field goal gave the Lions a 24-23 victory, Mahomes’ performance had a significant impact.
Social Media Madness
Mahomes’ pass behind the back instantly went viral on social media. The brother of Travis Kelce, Jason Kelce, tweeted, “The son of a gun really did that!” because he was so excited. The play gained popularity and demonstrated Mahomes’ capacity to go above and beyond the norm to produce memorable moments on the field.
Additional Highlights of the Game
- After taking over for Mahomes, Carson Wentz found Xavier Worthy with a touchdown pass.
- In the competition for the backup quarterback spot, the Lions’ Nate Sudfeld and Hendon Hooker both turned in outstanding performances.
- Both a field goal and a botched punt return plagued the Lions’ special teams.
- Despite having a shoulder injury, Chiefs player James Winchester continued to play after the break.
Gazing Forward
