The Kansas City Chiefs have taken an early lead on the New Orleans Saints, and their third touchdown was courtesy of Tyreek Hill making an amazing catch.

Kansas City is trying to improve to 4-2 on Sunday afternoon in its game against the New Orleans Saints. The Chiefs fell behind 7-0 before coming back on the strength of a 46-yard touchdown grab by Spencer Ware. After a pick-six by safety Daniel Sorensen to take a 14-7 lead, the Chiefs got the ball back and Alex Smith went for broke to receiver Tyreek Hill.

Smith, who has long been known to throw the ball underneath instead of downfield, looked long toward a covered Hill. The fifth-round rookie was able to beat his man in the final 10 yards of the route, and despite some contact at the end, made an absurd one-handed grab.

Hill has mostly been used in the early going as a gadget receiver and a kick returner. However, Hill’s 4.3 speed is starting to come in handy offensively, especially for a team that typically has to dink and dunk for points.

Smith has already thrown for 124 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the first half. Ware is leading Kansas City in receiving with 46 yards, all coming on his score.
