The 15-1 Kansas City Chiefs clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC with today’s Christmas Day victory over the 10-6 Pittsburgh Steelers.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a monster first quarter, completing 7 of 10 passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns. The highlight of the opening quarter was this slick underhanded pass to Samaje Perine that gave off vibes of Derek Jeter’s miraculous flip play in the 2001 ALDS against the Oakland A’s.
Mahomes: The Wizard of Oz
Mahomes isn’t just a quarterback — he’s a magician with the football. He brought excitement to an August preseason game against the Detroit Lions with a behind-the-back pass to Travis Kelce.
And that’s not all. Mahomes’ highlight reel includes other insane passes:
- A left-handed pass against the Denver Broncos in 2018.
- A no-look pass against the Baltimore Ravens in 2018.
- And a horizontal throw in Super Bowl LV against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The two-time Super Bowl winner is a fan favorite for the Stephen Curry-like wizardry he brings to the NFL.
