Patrick Mahomes' cunning play-call left CBS announcers Jim Nantz and Tony Romo bewildered, as the Kansas City Chiefs dominated the Las Vegas Raiders 31-0 in Week 7. The Chiefs' quarterback executed a masterclass performance, outsmarting the Raiders' defense and leading his team to an easy victory.
With just over two minutes remaining in the second quarter, Mahomes sent running back Brashard Smith and tight end Travis Kelce into motion, exclaiming "This f---ing never f---ing works, man" before snapping the ball. To everyone's surprise, he handed it off to Kareem Hunt, who promptly picked up a first down, leaving Nantz and Romo stunned.
"It was like they were just trying to get them to jump offside," Romo said post-game, still baffled by Mahomes' move. The former Cowboys quarterback couldn't fathom why the Chiefs would attempt such a seemingly innocuous play call in a crucial fourth-and-one situation.
Despite the on-air pundits' bewilderment, Mahomes remained unfazed throughout the game. He threw for 286 yards and three touchdowns, with nine different Chiefs players catching passes. Running back Brashard Smith and tight end Rashee Rice both racked up significant yardage, while Marquise Brown snagged a touchdown catch.
In contrast, Raiders quarterback Geno Smith struggled to make an impact, completing just 67 of his 90 attempts for 151 yards. The Raiders' offense was largely held in check by the Chiefs' stifling defense.
The Chiefs' victory improved their record to 4-3, while the Raiders fell to 2-5. Mahomes' masterful performance cemented his status as one of the league's top quarterbacks, and his ability to outsmart even the most seasoned analysts will be closely watched in upcoming games.

! He knows how to get under those announcers' skin, and I love it! I mean, who tries a play call like that in a crucial situation? It's pure brilliance, if you ask me. And that look on Jim Nantz and Tony Romo's faces was priceless 
. The guy's got game, no question about it.

Mahomes' confidence in the huddle is pretty cool. And those Chiefs players are on fire! Rashee Rice's speed was a nightmare to watch.
i mean what was going through jim nantz's mind during that play call? " Um guys i think they're trying to jump offside" 
anyway, mahomes is for real this season, his skills are unmatched 
! THE GUY IS LIKE A GENIUS ON THE FIELD 
. AND THOSE RAIDERS JUST COULDN'T KEEP UP 
! MAHOMES IS FOR SURE ONE OF THE BEST QUARTERBACKS IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW

throwing for 286 yards and 3 touchdowns, and the chiefs' defense was straight fire 
they totally shut down the raiders' offense. and can we talk about how geno smith had an absolute stinker of a game 
i'm just glad it's not every week that the chiefs are dominating like this 
. It's like he knew they were gonna get roasted and went ahead and proved them wrong. And can we talk about how the Chiefs' defense just shut down Geno Smith? 31-0 is a crazy beat 
. I mean, come on, he's got 3 touchdowns and only gets picked off once 
.
It's not rocket science, guys! 
. And those announcers were like "huh?" 
we drove for like 8 hours straight through the mountains and it was so breathtakingly beautiful 
we stopped at this one quirky little cafe that had the best vegan mac 'n cheese ever 
have you tried it? 
. And to see Jim Nantz and Tony Romo scratching their heads on live TV is just the cherry on top
