Quarterback Patrick Mahomes picked the three favorite plays of his Chiefs’ career
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has had no shortage of big plays in his two seasons as the Chiefs’ full-time starter.
If you had to pick your three favorite plays, what would you choose?
That’s tough, right? Well, Mahomes was asked that question during an interview last week with ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit on Instagram.
Here is what Mahomes chose.
No. 1
“The first one was definitely the Titans one that I ran,” Mahomes said in reference to the touchdown run in the AFC Championship Game. “I just liked that one because everyone thinks that I’m not fast. I didn’t really run fast. I got there, so I got to prove a lot of guys on the team wrong, including Tyreek Hill because he keeps saying I’m slow.”
No. 2
“My first year starting against the Ravens, it was fourth-and-9,” Mahomes said in reference to a 2018 game. “I kind of scrambled out to the right and I just chucked it across the field towards Tyreek, and he came back and made a play. We went on to go into overtime and win that game. That was a special one to me just in the moment and at Arrowhead was awesome.”
No. 3
“And the Wasp play. ... Third-and-15 in a critical situation. I felt like that was the change of the momentum (of Super Bowl LIV),” Mahomes said. “There’s a lot of plays that really helped us win in the end down the stretch there. But that was the momentum change in the game, and we got them on their heels and we were able to go down and score. The defense was able to get a stop and then we scored again. The defense got another stop and we went on to win the Super Bow. That play in that situation — that was a huge play that I’ll forever remember.”
