Breaking: More Mahomes magic: Chiefs QB completes behind-the-back pass in….

MORAINE CITY, MO. — During the first half of the Kansas City Chiefs’ preseason game against the Detroit Lions on Saturday, Patrick Mahomes saw that Travis Kelce had taken the incorrect route while rolling to his right.

Therefore, out of malice, Mahomes threw to his reliable tight end by tossing it behind his back.

The bold pass was the high point of a lackluster preseason encounter in which Mahomes completed two clean series of work for 93 yards passing; yet, the Lions came back to win 24-23 on a 43-yard field goal by Jake Bates with zero seconds remaining.

“I always told you it had to happen naturally,” Mahomes remarked. Although he had never attempted it in practice, he had toyed with behind-the-back passes.
