KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Much as Patrick Mahomes has been a singularly stellar force in the emergence of the Chiefs as a perennial AFC Championship Game team and their first Super Bowl triumph in 50 years, his play has been augmented by being part of a phenomenal trifecta.
Tight end Travis Kelce and receiver Tyreek Hill are spectacular talents, year by year building Pro Football Hall of Fame cases, and Mahomes has enjoyed an uncanny sense of connection with each of his complementary targets.
That dynamic has been the ever-pulsing core of one of the most mesmerizing offenses in NFL history, a living, breathing synergistic marvel that has shown up in Mahomes anticipating where Kelce is going even when Kelce isn’t sure. And in Mahomes being able to find Hill open downfield in such a variety of ways (including “Jet Chip Wasp” in Super Bowl LIV) as to inspire a meme that suggests Mahomes just guesses and throws deep.
