Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes showed off fancy footwork on rushing TD against Browns
It wasn’t as important as the touchdown run he had in the 2019 AFC Championship Game, but Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes showed off his ability to make defenders miss on Sunday.
In the stats, this will go down as a 5-yard run, but Mahomes covered a lot more ground.
First, Mahomes took the snap and drifted back to the 13-yard line. Then he was chased back to the 19-yard line, avoided a sack and headed to the end zone.
Mahomes moved outside the numbers, then drifted back inside. He crossed the goal line thanks to a big block from rookie offensive lineman Trey Smith.
This was the first Chiefs touchdown of the 2021 season and it was more of Mahomes’ magic.
Mahomes’ ability to deftly avoid would-be tacklers was on full display.
Here’s guessing most people would have thought Mahomes’ first touchdown this season would be a pass and not a run, but no one was complaining.
