The Kansas City Chiefs had to resort to unconventional methods to score touchdowns against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, and second-year offensive lineman Wanya Morris was ready to answer his team’s call.
When the Chiefs found themselves at Cincinnati’s goal line in the third quarter, head coach Andy Reid dialed up a play that had Morris and linebacker Leo Chenal report as eligible receivers to fool the Bengals’ defense.
When Patrick Mahomes snapped the ball, Chenal acted as a decoy in Kansas City’s backfield to make Cincinnati commit to defending the run, and Morris found himself all alone in the end zone, where he caught a touchdown pass from the reigning Super Bowl MVP.
Check out this video of Morris breaking down his first career touchdown, which was posted by the Chiefs’ official Twitter account:

Though Morris isn’t a likely candidate to become Kansas City’s next receiving threat, his sure hands on this outstanding play proved to be the difference between a win and loss for the Chiefs in Week 2.
