During the preseason game on Saturday, Patrick Mahomes impressed with a slick behind-the-back pass to Travis Kelce, throwing for 93 yards in two efficient series. Unfortunately, the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Detroit Lions 24-23 in the end.
Detroit clinched the victory with Jake Bates’ 43-yard field goal at the last second.
Mahomes completed 8 of 14 passes, leading the Chiefs to two field goals against the Lions’ backup defense. This added to a field goal he achieved in the previous preseason opener against the Jaguars.
The game’s highlight was Mahomes’ behind-the-back pass to Kelce under pressure, setting up a crucial first down at the Detroit 33. This impressive play later went viral.
Despite jokingly stating that Kelce ran the wrong route, Mahomes’ behind-the-back pass was a success, showcasing his talent and creativity. The clip quickly gained attention on social media.
Carson Wentz took over for Mahomes, completing 5 of 10 passes for 31 yards and a touchdown. Lions coach Dan Campbell chose to rest his starters for the second preseason game.
Nate Sudfeld and Hendon Hooker showcased their skills for the Lions, while the team’s special teams struggled, committing turnovers and missed opportunities.
