Patrick Mahomes inventing new ways to score with underhand TD

Patrick Mahomes found a new way to score a touchdown

It shouldn’t surprise us that a former baseball player in Mahomes thought an underhand flip was an appropriate way to add to the Chiefs early lead. Mahomes found fullback Anthony Sherman after the entire Ravens defense assumed he was going to pitch the ball to Tyreek Hill, who was flashing out of the backfield.

Mahomes is putting on a show so far against a respectable defense in Baltimore. Unfortunately for the Ravens, their task of keeping the Chiefs offense off the field hasn’t gone as planned so far.

The legend of Patrick Mahomes continues

Mahomes was once a draft pick of the Detroit Tigers, and had a real opportunity to play baseball had he chosen to go that route.

“With Patrick, it was as simple as ‘here’s a kid who looks like he’s going to play football BUT…let’s be that team that started to build the relationship so that if he wants to play baseball 2-4 years down the road, we’ve got our foot in the door,” Tim Grieve, longtime scout of the Detroit Tigers, told me in an interview last February.

The Tigers are kicking themselves while watching Mahomes make plays otherwise reserved for a second baseman. Would that have been a double play in baseball?

Anthony Sherman sure doesn’t look like a shortstop.
