Watch: Patrick Mahomes wows with circus throw for a long KC touchdown

On the second of the second quarter Patrick Mahomes made some of his famous magic, tossing a 56-yard touchdown to Jerick McKinnon for a 13-0 lead.

Mahomes was flushed out of the pocket on a third down and just when it looked like the Chiefs quarterback was going to tuck the pigskin and run, he threw the ball cross-body and underhanded to McKinnon who ran untouched down the sideline.

Mahomes magic! 🪄

The crazy play was the first Kansas City touchdown of the day after they had notched field goals on each of their first two drives.

The Broncos went three-and-out on the ensuing drive. Denver is going to need a miraculous comeback to upset their AFC West rivals, who have beaten them in 13 straight contests.
