Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes has repeatedly broken the internet with his crafty, jaw-dropping creativity.
As if opposing defenses and coaches didn’t have to worry enough about Patrick Mahomes already, the three-time Super Bowl-winning signal-caller has added more slick trickery to his repertoire.
X/Twitter user Kasey Rowzer shared a video of the Chiefs offense running a drill during practice. Mahomes takes the snap and completes a ridiculous behind-the-back pass to running back Isiah Pacheco for a touchdown:

Well, good luck to opposing NFL defenses now that Mahomes has seemingly perfected the art of behind-the-back throws. From no-look passes to ridiculous spin-move completions to across-his-body darts, we’re starting to run out of ideas on what other un-human plays Mahomes can perform.

Mahomes led the Chiefs to a second straight Super Bowl championship last season despite lackluster production from most of his wide receivers. GM Brett Veach upgraded the WR room by signing Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown before using his first-round pick on Texas Longhorns wideout Xavier Worthy.
So now Mahomes has four capable 1,000-yard receivers in Worthy, Brown, ageless tight end Travis Kelce and sophomore Rashee Rice. Not to mention that Pacheco is always a threat for over 1,000 yards of scrimmage.
And if Mahomes really has aced the behind-the-back pass? There might be no stopping the back-to-back Super Bowl champions in 2024.
Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs Open Season vs. Baltimore Ravens
The Chiefs will be battle-tested early when they begin their 2024 season with a home tilt against reigning MVP Lamar Jackson and the NFL Kickoff Game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sept. 5.
Mahomes owns a 4-1 record against Jackson’s Ravens, including a 17-10 victory in last season’s AFC Championship Game. Four of those contests have been decided by a single score, so don’t be surprised if the Kickoff Game once again goes down to the wire.
