For years, Patrick Mahomes has teased unveiling his latest magic trick by throwing a behind-the-back pass in a game. He’s done it numerous times in practice, both on-camera and off, but has been hesitant to take the next step of throwing one in actual competition.
He and the Kansas City Chiefs finally took that next step in the team’s preseason game versus the Detroit Lions on Saturday. On the team’s second drive of the game and facing a 3rd-and-3 from Detroit’s 33-yard-line, Mahomes and Travis Kelce hooked up on a back-the-back throw and catch that resulted in an eight-yard gain and a first down.
