Patrick Mahomes, the NFL’s most electric quarterback, added new entry to his legend after what he pulled off on Sunday, JarrettBell writes.
He wasn’t supposed to do that on this night, right?“Watching the play I was like, ‘Well, Superman put his cape on and got it done for us,’ ” marveled Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt, mindful of the anxiety that surrounded his team all week with Mahomes’ right ankle in full rehab mode.
“So, credit to them and them just trying to stay on it. have two more weeks so we gotta keep doing it.” Later in the third quarter, he committed his only turnover, a fumble that popped up when the football inexplicably slipped out of his hand while he was poised to wing it downfield to Marquez Valdes-Scantling to beat a blitz.“Luckily, it didn’t cost us the game.”
On his two touchdown passes, Mahomes illustrated just how dangerous he is, even when throwing mechanics are affected by the footwork. He moved the pocket, rolling right, to hit Travis Kelce for a 14-yard scoring strike in the second quarter. On a 19-yard throw to Valdes-Scantling, he came off his initial read and stepped up in the pocket to launch a laser just beyond the reach of a diving defender.
