The Chiefs QB stared down 4th and 4 and instead of passing the ball in hopes of extending their drive, the QB took off for an amazing 28-yard rush. The run although not an exact match of Tyreek Hill’s TD run, did emanate similar vibes as Patrick Mahomes extended Chiefs’ dominance. The QB was able to run past the defense of the Dolphins, grabbing the praise of the commentators on air stating, “What a play, nobody does it better than him.”
It eventually took their score to a six-point lead with the Chiefs finally racking up 16 points to the Dolphins’ 7 before the end of the first half, allowing them a chance of overshadowing Tyreek Hill’s team after the WR’s impressive TD.
