Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes finds WR Xavier Worthy for second Super Bowl TD

#Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy scored an incredible touchdown in the fourth quarter of Kansas City’s loss to the #Eagles in Super Bowl LIX

The Kansas City Chiefs’ offense finally got into gear in the fourth quarter of their blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

Though star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was unable to move Kansas City’s offense downfield in the game’s first three quarters, he was able to find rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy in the end zone late in the game’s final frame.

The catch marked Worthy’s second touchdown reception of the game, which was one of the only bright spots in an otherwise embarrassing loss for the Chiefs.

Take a look at this video of Worthy’s outstanding touchdown catch:

This touchdown may have helped Kansas City’s comeback effort if it had been scored earlier in Sunday’s game, but ultimately it didn’t make any difference for the Chiefs, who would go on to lose Super Bowl LIX 40-22.

Stay tuned to see what Kansas City’s players and coaches have to say about the rookie’s performance after the game.

Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins scores touchdown in Super Bowl LIX

#Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins scored a touchdown in Kansas City’s Super Bowl LIX matchup against the Philadelphia #Eagles.

The Kansas City Chiefs may lose their matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, but fans in Western Missouri are sure to have been pleased when they saw that veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins scored a touchdown in the game’s fourth quarter.

Hopkins, who made his first Super Bowl appearance in the championship tilt, joined Kansas City via trade during the regular season after the Chiefs saw their depth at the wide receiver position affected by a series of injuries.

Though Hopkins’ score came far too late to alter the final score in a meaningful way, it helped the final score of Kansas City’s matchup against the Eagles.

It is unclear whether the Chiefs will elect to bring Hopkins back next season, but even if the veteran wideout’s time in Kansas City ends after Super Bowl LIX, his outstanding touchdown catch will forever be a part of the team’s history in the championship game.

Kansas City Chiefs fans had to wait three quarters to see their favorite team score points against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

Though the Chiefs have tried their best to gain any sort of momentum against the Eagles’ outstanding defense, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes wasn’t able to get in rhythm early in the game.

In the third quarter, Mahomes finally managed to break through and found rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy for a touchdown that cut Kansas City’s deficit to 28 points.

Check out this video of Mahomes’ connection with Worthy, which was posted to the Chiefs’ official Twitter account during Super Bowl LIX:

Though it seems like it would be impossible for Kansas City to make a 28-point comeback in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs can never be counted out with Mahomes under center.

Stay tuned to see if Mahomes can make magic happen in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LIX.

Commanders’ fan Kevin Durant responds to Jahymr Gibbs’ celebration

Kevin Durant responds to Jahmyr Gibbs’ touchdown celebration.

The Detroit Lions showed why they have the NFL’s most explosive offense on their second possession of Saturday’s NFC divisional round game against the Washington Commanders.

Second-year running back Jahmyr Gibbs touched the ball four times for 48 yards, including a one-yard touchdown to give Detroit an early 7-0 lead.

Once Gibbs scored, he celebrated. And his celebration was a familiar one if you’re an NBA fan — specifically a Kevin Durant fan. Gibbs mocked Durant’s dance.

This wouldn’t be a big deal, as most would consider Gibbs to be paying homage to one of the NBA’s top stars. However, Durant is a Washington fan — a massive fan. And he predicted a Commanders’ win over the Lions.

Here’s the touchdown celebration, and Gibbs nailed it.

As expected, Durant was watching and responded.

Overall, Durant should be happy, though, as the Commanders went into halftime with a 31-21 lead.

Watch Patrick Mahomes’ epic touchdown pass to Travis Kelce vs. Texans

The Kansas City Chiefs are in the midst of a proverbial bullfight in the final frame of their divisional-round matchup against the Houston Texans in the AFC playoffs.

After the Texans stampeded back to bring the score within one point in the third quarter, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes took matters into his own hands to give Kansas City an eight-point lead with a magnificent touchdown pass to star tight end Travis Kelce.

Mahomes and Kelce have combined for more than 100 yards in the game, marking one of the most prolific performances by the duo this season.

Take a look at this video of Mahomes’ outstanding throw and Kelce’s iconic touchdown reception:

 

Though the game is far from over, Houston hasn’t proven that it is capable of overcoming the pure dominance of Kansas City’s dynamic air attack, which has been led by Mahomes and Kelce throughout the game.

Expect Mahomes to continue looking Kelce’s way if the Chiefs need a quick score late in the game.

Why Saints chose not to challenge TD that was called back vs. Buccaneers

The Saints chose not to challenge their first-half touchdown that was called back against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The New Orleans Saints had what looked to be potentially their first touchdown of the day against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, on a pass to the right side of the endzone to Marquez Valdes-Scantling. However, after initially being called a touchdown on the field, it was quickly overturned and called an incompletion.

The Saints had the option to challenge this play as they still had time available, but instead elected not to and went for a field goal anyway to take an early 6-3 lead. This decision could have gone either way, as it did look like a catch, but after it was overturned there needed to be substantial evidence to call it in the Saints’ favor, and that part is unclear and the ball did move around quite a bit even if possessed by Valdes-Scantling.

It was a hard choice to make, and the Saints ultimately decided against it.

Commanders TE Zach Ertz earned a lot of money in Sunday’s win

Commanders TE Zach Ertz reached several incentives during Sunday’s win.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz had his best game of the season in Sunday night’s win over the Atlanta Falcons.

The 12-year veteran caught six passes for 72 yards and two touchdowns. His final catch came on the game’s last play, a two-yard touchdown in overtime to clinch a playoff spot for the Commanders.

Ertz has started every game for Washington this season, recording 61 receptions for 610 yards and six touchdowns. In addition to his on-field production, Ertz has proven to be a leader for the Commanders and mentor for several younger players, like quarterback Jayden Daniels.

During Sunday’s win, Ertz made a lot of money. His performance triggered three different bonuses on his contract. Ertz signed a one-year deal worth up to $5 million for the 2024 season.

Here’s the incentives he reached on Sunday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN:

  • His sixth TD catch of the season triggered a $250,000 bonus.
  • Ertz earned another $250,000 by going over 60 catches this season.
  • Ertz earned yet another $250,000 by going over 600 yards receiving.

Additionally, Ertz moved past Pro Football Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome into ninth place all-time for receiving yards by a tight end. Even better, it was his mother’s birthday.

It was a good night for Zach Ertz.
