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.
