Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are already in midseason form, as they’ve just executed a remarkable behind-the-back pass.
This exciting play unfolded just moments ago during the Lions vs Chiefs preseason game. On a crucial third down with three yards to go, Mahomes dodged defenders to his right, then skillfully sent the ball to his primary target.
Kelce adeptly secured the first down and continued advancing, landing just inside the Lions’ 25-yard line—a brilliant play that may rank among the strangest we’ll see this preseason.
A multitude of football enthusiasts, including Travis’s brother Jason Kelce, applauded the impressive play. However, it’s clear that it wasn’t a spontaneous act, as both Pat and Trav have openly stated their desire to pull off such a move.
When is the behind-the-back pass coming, @PatrickMahomes?! 😅
“Coach Reid wants me to throw it more than anyone in the world. He deliberately puts in plays for when I have the opportunity to throw it. It’s not a coaching thing. One of these games. We gotta do it.” pic.twitter.com/snKDa6ghi1

Mahomes recently appeared on “First Things First” on FS1, discussing his plans to execute the play akin to the one he showcased today.
PM accepted full responsibility for not pulling it off last season, explaining that Head Coach Andy Reid has supported this play for years, meaning he could have executed it at any moment.
Pat and Travis are gearing up for the regular season, kicking off on September 5 against the Ravens, and are reunited in Kansas City after a summer away.
Killa Trav has been traveling the world with his girlfriend Taylor Swift, who unfortunately could not attend Saturday’s preseason game due to her performance at Wembley Stadium in England.
Poor Tay missed a truly incredible play!
