Patrick Mahomes has one of the strongest arms in football, but even the best quarterbacks have throws that donât go as planned. During the Kansas City Chiefsâ 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, November 3, one of Mahomesâ passes took an unexpected turn â and created a viral moment that fans are still talking about.
Patrick Mahomesâ Pass Leads to a Viral Moment
The play happened late in the game at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. Mahomes tried to connect with tight end Travis Kelce on a pass to the end zone, but the ball missed its target and went off course. What happened next caught everyoneâs attention.
The moment was caught on camera and quickly went viral, with the NFL sharing the clip and captioning it, âConfirmed, heâs okay ð .â
Within hours, the video racked up thousands of views.
The camera operator, Justin Schwab, identified himself in the comments and in a comedic video shared to his own Instagram account.
“Hey that’s me,” he simply wrote beneath the clip.
Schwab goes by “vidsbyschwab” then shared his own video from the field with the caption, âCan you really blame me for jumping?â
Mahomes Reflects on Chiefsâ Loss to the Bills
While the viral play provided comic relief, it was a tough game for the Chiefs. Mahomes finished with 15 completions on 34 attempts for 250 yards. The team showed signs of life in the fourth quarter with a 2-yard touchdown run from Kareem Hunt and a successful two-point conversion, but it wasnât enough to overcome Buffalo.
After the game, Mahomes told reporters the team needed to find more consistency. âWeâve had great moments. Weâve had bad moments. We got to be more consistent as a team. I got to be more consistent as a quarterback,â he said. âYou got to learn from it fast. Itâs going to be an uphill battle when we get back, but I think our guys are up for it.â
The loss dropped Kansas City to 5-4 on the season. The Chiefs will face the Denver Broncos next on Sunday, November 16, as they look to bounce back â and hopefully keep every pass on target this time.
