The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback proved he can also do it during an NFL game.
Around the 6-minute mark in the first quarter, the Chiefs had the ball near the 3rd and 3 inside the Detroit Lions half.
After taking the snap, Mahomes faked a layoff to rookie running back Carson Steele and checked back for a free receiver.
However, Mahomes pulled off the unthinkable. He saw Travis Kelce wide open just ahead of the line of scrimmage and threw a behind-the-back pass.
The game’s commentators revealed that head coach Andy Reid encouraged Mahomes to try out the behind-the-back pass in a game, and he did just that.
Mahomes sent shivers down the spine of the entire NFL when he first introduced the behind-the-back pass last week in training. On that occasion, it was running back Isiah Pacheco who caught the ball and scored a touchdown.
Despite the magical display, the Chiefs have now lost back-to-back pre-season games. They led 23-15 at the start of the fourth quarter through Chris Oladokun’s 64-yard touchdown pass to Cornell Powell.
