KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two offensive drives, two touchdowns and 24 plays into the second of three dress rehearsals in August, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a week’s worth — heck, a month’s worth — of extraordinary throws.
A tight window dart to tight end Jody Fortson for a touchdown. A sidearm flick to wideout Justin Watson on the back end of a scramble. An improvisation 30-yard, over-the-shoulder toss to tight end Noah Gray.
A game Saturday against Washington had exhausted all of 17 minutes, and Mahomes had passed for 162 yards and a pair of touchdowns in what would turn into a 24-14 Chiefs win at Arrowhead Stadium.
