Patrick Mahomes tosses an underhanded no-look touchdown pass to Jerick McKinnon
The highlight reel has its latest entry with Mahomes finding a way to scramble and toss an unorthodox no-look pass underhanded to Jerick McKinnon for a second-quarter touchdown. Mahomes’ pass to McKinnon for 56 yards is the longest catch of the latter’s career. Spectators gushed over the unbelievable play on Twitter immediately.
I used to be one of those "We've seen Patrick Mahomes before" folks (Rodgers, Marino) but
We have not. Simply haven't.
He does what no one else will, or even can, do.

Patrick Mahomes does things quarterbacks in video games can’t do.
A programmers nightmare.
Best of all-time.

Bruh!!! I know Patrick Mahomes did not just no look the ball to Jet McKinnon like Luka in the lane.
He loves balling in Denver. He goes all point guard on this defense. Same place he threw the lefty.
They also have 13 points now. Might be more than Russ’nem capable of all day.

The Chiefs drive down the field again for a touchdown pass to running back Jerick McKinnon, whose path was opened by a crushing block from RG Trey Smith. The second-year offensive lineman took Broncos safety Justin Simmons entirely out of the play with his physical block in the red zone. Former players, critics, and more expressed their thoughts on Twitter.
Oh man the audio on this Trey Smith block on the screen for a TD. Would not want to be this defender! pic.twitter.com/j6Xu9tkcDo

When the @Chiefs drafted Willie Gay Jr., it was based on his incredible athleticism. He'd played very little at Mississippi State, but his raw talent was clear.
That was every bit of it on display right there with that incredible INT and TD return. #ChiefsKingdom #Chiefs41

WILLIE GAY JR WITH THE PICK 6!!!!!!

I love to see our defense get the reward for a phenomenal start to this game. Pick 6 Willie Gay Jr!

I don't understand how Patrick Mahomes can do the things he does. Running in circles, somehow still sees the field perfectly and throws a perfect touchdown. It's just sorcery.

However good you think Patrick Mahomes II is, he’s probably better.
