Pre-season is always a good time to try new things, and Patrick Mahomes has never been one to shy away from showing off.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback seems to be re-inventing the position year-every year and on Saturday against the Detroit Lions, he debuted a mind-boggling, behind-the-back toss to tight end Travis Kelce.

The back-to-back Super Bowl MVP is well-known for his ability to improvise, scrambling out of the pocket to make absurd throws downfield or fooling defenders with no-look passes. But he may have taken it to the next level with this one.

According to the broadcast, Mahomes had been working on these sorts of plays in practice earlier this week and head coach Andy Reid wanted to find a way to integrate these next-level passes into a real game.

It came on a clean play-action quarterback keep play, with Mahomes faking the hand-off and running to the flat for what looked like a screen pass to Rashee Rice. Instead, Kelce slipped off his block into space and Mahomes casually flipped it to his trusty tight end for a never-before-seen, sleight-of-hand play.

As it always does when it comes to Mahomes’ magic, social media went crazy.

Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, has once again wowed fans and critics alike with his incredible behind-the-back play during a recent game. Known for his incredible arm strength and accuracy, Mahomes has solidified himself as one of the most talented quarterbacks in the NFL.

During a game against the Denver Broncos, Mahomes found himself under pressure from the defense as he scrambled out of the pocket. With defenders closing in on him, Mahomes made a split-second decision to throw the ball behind his back to avoid a sack. The pass was completed to his receiver, showcasing Mahomes’ incredible improvisational skills and ability to make plays under pressure.

This behind-the-back play is just one example of Mahomes’ unique talent and creativity on the field. His ability to make plays out of seemingly impossible situations has earned him the respect and admiration of fans and fellow players alike.

Mahomes’ behind-the-back play is a testament to his skill, athleticism, and football IQ. It takes a special kind of talent to pull off such a move in the heat of the moment, and Mahomes has proven time and time again that he is up to the challenge.

As the Chiefs continue their quest for another Super Bowl title, fans can expect to see more incredible plays from Mahomes as he continues to showcase his impressive skills on the field. Whether it’s a behind-the-back pass or a deep bomb downfield, Mahomes never fails to amaze and entertain football fans everywhere.
