NFL’s top Chiefs plays of 2021 has two Patrick Mahomes passes to Travis Kelce atop list
You’d be hard-pressed to find a current quarterback/tight end better than the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
The two players are among the best at their position in the league, so it’s no surprise that when the NFL picked the Chiefs’ top plays for the 2021 season, it was heavy on Mahomes and Kelce plays.
No. 1 on the list should be pretty easy to guess, but these are all pretty good.
Here are the plays the NFL chose.
No. 10: Darrel Williams’ awesome leaping catch against the Raiders in Las Vegas for a 38-yard score
No. 9: Kelce turned a short pass from Mahomes into an incredible 46-yard touchdown as he broke multiple tackles against the Ravens
No. 8: Tershawn Wharton’s crazy “sucker cup” interception against Washington
No. 7: Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s unstoppable touchdown run against the Steelers in the regular season
No. 6: Daniel Sorensen’s pick-six against the Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium
No. 5: Mahomes’ 75-yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill that started a fourth-quarter comeback against the Browns in the season opener
No. 4: Nick Bolton’s 86-yard fumble return for a touchdown after Melvin Ingram’s crushing hit of the Broncos’ Melvin Gordon. The shots of stunned Broncos fans make that clip even more fun
No. 3: Mahomes’ fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Hill that gave the Chiefs a brief lead in the AFC Divisional playoff game
No. 2: Kelce’s 34-yard catch-and-run touchdown in overtime to beat the Chargers at SoFi Stadium in a “Thursday Night Football” game
No. 1: Kelce’s game-winning catch to beat the Bills in overtime of the playoff game
Did the NFL get it right with these 10 plays?
