Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has made a lot of preposterous throws in his brief but equally preposterous NFL career. That the Chiefs are already able to put together a reel of his 25 best throws, and Mahomes is in his third season as a full-time starter, says it all.
But of all the throws Mahomes has made in his career to date, I don’t think it’s possible to top what could have been a 58-yard touchdown to Tyreek Hill against the Raiders with less than a minute elapsed in the game.
I mean, just sit back and behold this thing:

Sadly, guard Kelechi Osemele was busted for holding on the play, and the play was negated. The Chiefs were unable to score on the drive, and for a quarterback who has just three completions of 20-plus air yards this season on 14 attempts coming into this game, this play would have helped a lot.
