You know it’s going to be serious when Patrick Mahomes is in beast mode. Arguably the finest player in the NFL today constantly tries to keep himself and his teammates cool on the field. But once he becomes a beast, it’s GAME OVER for the opposing team.

Mahomes is an excellent quarterback, and all the credit goes to his accuracy and quick thinking. More importantly, the guy does not lose his mind easily, but when he does, Uh-Oh. Have you not noticed this? When the quarterback scores a touchdown or his team gains momentum, he always makes a finger-wiggling move. But, what is it?

The real reason behind Patrick Mahomes’ finger wiggling

This question was recently posed to a group of Kansas City Chiefs players and their head coach during an interview. The squad even disclosed that this signal is for the entire team to be fired up and give it their all. Mahomes typically does this action when he becomes competitive in the game and decides to go all in once and for all.

The Chiefs’ TE Travis Kelce believes Patrick Mahomes is in the ‘zone’ at that time. When he does that sign, he is primarily concerned with the game only. The Kansas City Chiefs gets usually excited when they see this wriggling action because they know things are going to become super serious. Even the head coach is aware of the QB’s actions and has divulged a secret about it.

The three-time Super Bowl MVP does not even know about this action

Andy Ried, the team’s head coach, discussed this action with his quarterback. You’ll be surprised to learn that Mahomes is unaware whenever he is doing this action. But how is it possible? Well! It is only conceivable if the quarterback is so immersed in the game that he does not think about anything else.

When asked about the action the QB told us, “When the momentum is going in our favor I wanna call the play fast. I just want to put pressure on them and that’s when things start going towards you” 

When the Chiefs’ quarterback performs this action, the crowd invariably gets up on their feet in excitement. You too would have noticed that the Chiefs benefit from the fact that the other squad is also put under pressure when this happens.
