Patrick Mahomes says he threw behind the back pass 'out of spite'

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes broke the internet on Saturday when he completed a behind the back pass to Travis Kelce against the Detroit Lions.

Mahomes has tried the pass in practice for years, but this was the first time we've ever seen him try it on the field of play. During an in-game interview, Mahomes revealed the pass wasn't planned.

"Long story short: Travis didn't run the route he was supposed to run," Mahomes said. "And then it was kind of a behind the back pass kinda because I was mad. I was pissed off at Travis. He was supposed to run a flat route... and then he doesn't run it. So, out of spite, I threw a behind the back pass, but now it's gonna be a highlight."

Mahomes doing schoolyard stuff just because he can is the ultimate flex for a guy who's won three Super Bowls and is looking to become the first quarterback to ever win three in a row. It's not too soon to say he's the most talented quarterback we've ever seen.
