Did he really just do that? Patrick Mahomes threw his first touchdown at Arrowhead Stadium, and, boy, was it something. During a scramble to elude pressure, he dropped all the way back to the 24-yard line, then fired on the run from the 19, pinning a dart to Chris Conley in the corner of the end zone. Mahomes ran more than 35 yards before releasing the ball. All for a four-yard pass.
