Patrick Mahomes fools broadcasters with explicit play-call as Chiefs dominate Raiders

The Kansas City Chiefs will play the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, and are 11.5 point favorites. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes ask if the Raiders stand any chance of beating the Chiefs, and they discuss the Cincinnati Bengals’ 33-3...

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completely fooled CBS announcers Jim Nantz and Tony Romo, and possibly the Las Vegas Raiders’ defense, in the second quarter of their Week 7 matchup on Sunday.

Mahomes and the Chiefs started the second quarter with a 4th-and-1 decision. The Chiefs could try to get the Raiders to jump offside, run a QB sneak to try to convert for a first down or take a penalty and move the ball backward to set up for a punt. It looked like the superstar player was just trying to get the Raiders to commit a penalty.

He sent Travis Kelce and running back Brashard Smith in motion and offered a few expletives before he snapped the ball.

"This f---ing never f---ing works, man," Mahomes said.

When the ball was snapped, Nantz and Romo were fooled. The former Dallas Cowboys star was certain that Mahomes was just going to get the Raiders to jump. Instead, he handed the ball to Kareem Hunt and the running back picked up a first down.

Mahomes kept cool all game long. He was 26-of-35 with 286 passing yards and three touchdown passes as Kansas City won the game, 31-0. He was taken out of the game after the third quarter in place of Gardner Minshew II.
