Jason Garrett acted like he’d never seen Patrick Mahomes before after a 4th down scramble

Patrick Mahomes Jason Garrett NFL Will Brinson

From time to time, we get to hear Jason Garrett call NFL games now. What joy! And judging by the sample size of his announcing work, this is probably something we should be exposed less to.

As the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins battled in impossibly frigid conditions, Garrett tried to add “unique” color to Patrick Mahomes’ play on the field. Mind you, Mahomes is already one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. He has a patent on making clutch plays in the postseason, especially long runs in pivotal situations. We have seen him do it time and again. We have likely run out of original ways to describe Mahomes.

But when Mahomes scrambled for 28 yards on a second-quarter fourth down, Garrett’s analysis of the sequence made it seem like he’d never actually watched Mahomes play. He’s a “sneaky good athlete,” apparently. Really?

It’s been a rough evening for Garrett while filling in as NBC’s color commentator. This description that effectively made it seem like Mahomes is underrated — the NFL’s best quarterback — might take the cake as his worst call.
