In Saturday’s Chiefs preseason loss at home against the Detroit Lions, Patrick Mahomes delivered a behind-the-back throw to Travis Kelce, which appropriately sent the NFL world into a frenzy.
During their Super Bowl-winning years together in Kansas City, the two players connected on a ton of amazing plays, and this one might be the best of them.
But Mahomes said after the game that he threw the pass “out of spite” because Kelce had chosen the incorrect route.
“Long story short, Travis didn’t run the route he was supposed to run,” Mahomes said. “And then it was kind of a behind-the-back pass because I was mad, I was pissed off at Travis. He was supposed to run a flat route… he doesn’t run it. Out of spite, I threw a behind-the-back pass, but now it’s gonna be a highlight.”
Travis Kelce’s older brother, Jason Kelce, loved that from Mahomes and took a second to troll his little brother, tweeting: “If Pat starts throwing behind the back passes every time Travis runs the wrong route, this may be the most exciting year of football to date.”
Fans loved that from the big brother
