Patrick Mahomes Leaves Broadcasters Flabbergasted with Bleeped-Out Play Call.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes pulled off an impressive display of cunning in the second quarter of his team's Week 7 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, leaving CBS announcers Jim Nantz and Tony Romo utterly bewildered.
Mahomes' decision to send Travis Kelce and running back Brashard Smith in motion, accompanied by a few choice expletives before snapping the ball, had the broadcast team convinced that he was trying to get the Raiders' defense to jump offside. However, instead of relying on the trick play, Mahomes handed the ball to Kareem Hunt, who effortlessly picked up a first down.
The Chiefs went on to win the game 31-0, with Mahomes finishing the game 26-of-35 for 286 passing yards and three touchdown passes. The quarterback's composure remained unwavering throughout the contest, despite facing off against one of the league's top defenses.
A closer look at the play revealed that Mahomes was actually calling an audible on a flea-flicker, attempting to exploit a seam in the Raiders' secondary for Hunt. The Chiefs' offense dominated the game, with nine different players catching passes and Rashee Rice notching seven receptions for 42 yards and two touchdowns.
Raiders quarterback Geno Smith struggled to find his footing against Mahomes, completing just 67 passing yards. Meanwhile, rookie Ashton Jeanty managed a mere 21 yards on the ground, highlighting the Chiefs' relentless pressure on the Raiders' offense.
The win marked the Chiefs' fourth victory of the season, improving their record to 4-3. In contrast, the Raiders fell to 2-5, their fifth straight loss.
Mahomes' impressive display was also reflected in his post-game comments, where he expressed frustration with the play not working out as planned. "This f---ing never f---ing works, man," he said.
The Chiefs' victory serves as a testament to Mahomes' exceptional skill and poise under pressure, cementing his reputation as one of the league's top quarterbacks.
