Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was in a mood while playing the Detroit Lions on Saturday, taking to the field for a preseason fixture against the team that ruined his opening weekend last season.

Mahomes got the last laugh as he led the Chiefs to a second-straight Super Bowl win at the end of it all, beating the San Francisco 49ers after they took care of Detroit in the NFC Championship Game with another MVP performance.

Still, all of that will be forgotten once the regular season gets underway, as the AFC outfit will be solely focused on a three-peat. So, while there’s still time to have some fun and take some risks, Mahomes appears to be keen on doing just that.

Midway through the fourth quarter of Saturday’s fixture, he found Travis Kelce for a key first down on a third-and-three with a cheeky behind-the-back pass that left the Lions’ defense looking silly.

Nice, right?

Social media had plenty to say after the clip started doing the rounds.

“Oh it’s a wrap for the rest of the NFL,” one fan declared.

“New move unlocked, that boy just bored 😂,” a user laughed.

“I don’t care if it was 3 yards. This is still impressive AF,” someone commented.

“Bro just trying stuff now😭😭,” another user observed.

“And 1 football tape loading………….” someone joked.

“Out there playing with these guys ☠️,” a comment read.

Patrick Mahomes Has A Knack For Flair

Patrick Mahomes loves experimenting with cheeky plays like this one, so we hope to see him pull off some more, especially if he dares to try something as spectacular in the regular season.

We’ll just have to wait and see.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs were leading 13-3 early in the second quarter at the time of writing, with Mahomes throwing for 93 yards on 8/14 passing.

Rookie wideout Xavier Worthy had three receptions for 62 yards and one touchdown.
