Patrick Mahomes is one of the most electrifying players in the NFL today and there is no shortage of incredible plays in his five-year career as the starting quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. From no-look passes to deep bombs to scrambling plays, Mahomes has made a name for himself as one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the league.
So which play is the best of Mahomes’ career? Recently, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was asked this very question and he didn’t hesitate to answer: Mahomes’ left-handed pass against the Denver Broncos in 2018.
Reid praised Mahomes for his ability to make a legitimate throw with the game on the line, despite his young age at the time. He said it was a moment that he knew Mahomes would become something special for the Chiefs.
The legendary play happened in the fourth quarter of the game, with the Chiefs trailing 20-17. Mahomes was pressured by the Broncos defense, but managed to stay on his feet and throw the ball left-handed to Demarcus Robinson for a 24-yard gain. The pass set up a game-winning field goal and gave the Chiefs their first win of the season.
The moment was a sign of things to come as Mahomes would go on to become the MVP of the NFL in 2018. Over the years, he has continued to make incredible plays and has become a fan favorite in Kansas City and around the league.
There may be no definitive answer for the best play of Mahomes’ career, but his left-handed pass against the Broncos will certainly always hold a special place in the hearts of Chiefs fans. It was a moment in time that showed the world what Patrick Mahomes was capable of and it’s a play that will be remembered for years to come.
