NFL deservedly ranks Patrick Mahomes’ Super Bowl incompletion among the season’s top 100 plays

It was that good.

With the NFL season coming to a close last week, we’re facing 206 days until the next regular season NFL game. That’s a lot of time without football.

So, to fill that void, the NFL is counting down the top 100 plays from the past season. And it didn’t take long for that ranking to raise some eyebrows.

In the Kansas City Chiefs’ 31-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV, Patrick Mahomes did absolutely all he could to keep his team in the game. He was constantly hurried and scrambling behind a depleted offensive line. And he still nearly managed to pull off the most incredible play in Super Bowl history.

Well, “almost” was good enough for the NFL’s rankings.

The league started off its play rankings with Mahomes’ fourth-down incompletion where he made a perfect throw while airborne and parallel to the ground. The pass was right on the money and hit Darrel Willams’ facemask.

The fact that we’ll likely remember that incompletion years from now makes its spot on that list justified. It truly was a remarkable play — even if Williams let Mahomes down at the end.
