With just two minutes left on the clock before halftime, Mahomes threw the ball towards Kelce at the tenth yard as he tricked the Raiders defense into thinking the ball would go towards a TD.

The Kansas City Chiefs shared the video of the exceptional gameplay on X just minutes later. In the video, you can clearly see Mahomes thinking a little before eventually throwing the ball toward TE Kelce and deceiving the Raiders’ defense completely.

The tricks began with a pitch from Mahomes to running back Isiah Pacheco, who tossed the ball to receiver Richie James. Mahomes then caught a quick pitch from James and fired off a laser to Travis Kelce for a 23-yard gain to the Raiders seven-yard line.

The well-executed flea flicker has given NFL fans another wonder moment to marvel over. Many fans have lauded Chiefs’ coach Andy Reid for this.
