The play resulted in a nine-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to wide receiver Kadarius Toney. But the officials called it back due to a holding penalty on the Chiefs offense. The team went again, and Toney eventually got his touchdown to put the Chiefs 21-3 at halftime.
Coach Ried is known for his creativity all around the NFL. He has created a monster of a team during his 10 years in Kansas City. And nobody should be surprised if the Chiefs come up with another unconventional play to catch their playoff opponent off-guard.
