Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champs thanks to a couple of huge plays down the stretch in the fourth quarter last Sunday night in Miami.
And none were bigger than that long pass from Mahomes to Tyreek Hill on 3rd and 15 that helped lead to a TD that shifted the momentum in the game.
Now we know more about that play-call and how Mahomes asked for it while the refs were reviewing a previous play.
This “wasp” pass play went for 44 yards and was the same play they used for a big gain against the Patriots in the AFC title game last year.
Check out this video below to see just how locked in Mahomes was on making sure they could pull this play off. It’s so darn fascinating watching the QB calmly ask offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy if they can have the time/protection to run the play and then how he’s able to pull it off under such pressure.
Also, it shows what an incredible leader Mahomes is, as he makes sure Hill is ready to make a big play:
