While the Chiefs has an incredible second half to comeback and beat the Eagles at Super Bowl LVII, one attempted fourth-quarter trick play blew up for Patrick Mahomes almost immediately.
Up 28–27 with just over 9:30 left to play, Mahomes and five other Chiefs players ran in a confusing circle around the quarterback’s shotgun position before lining up with the rest of the offense. As a result, right tackle Andrew Wylie entered the formation as an eligible receiver, with the hope being that the Eagles wouldn’t think to cover him and he could catch an easy touchdown pass.
Instead, safety Marcus Epps identified him as the target immediately and covered him, which Mahomes picked up on, leading him to throw the ball out of the end zone.
