The Chiefs had a big play ahead of them, sitting at 3rd and three with the ball at the Detroit Lions’ 33-yard line.
Pressure got in the backfield quickly, and Mahomes looked to Kelce for help.
Without much time to throw, Mahomes pulled the ball and threw it behind his back to Kelce who got the first down and a wild reaction from the crowd.
“How do you like that!” the game’s announcer yelled after seeing the play.
The play also got the attention of Kelce’s brother, Jason, who took to social media to share his awe.
“This son of a gun actually did it!! Magic Mahomes,” he wrote on X.
Later in the game, Mahomes completed an in-game interview and revealed why he threw the behind the back pass to Kelce.
“Long story short, Travis didn’t run the route he was supposed to run,” Mahomes said.
“Then it was a behind the back pass because I was mad, I was kind of pissed off at Travis.
“He was supposed to run a flat route, I don’t know if you could hear me on the broadcast I was yelling at him and he doesn’t run it.
