Mahomes , 28, broke out the behind-the-back toss on 3rd-and-3 in the first quarter.
Kelce then got a first down for the Chiefs after an eight-yard gain.
The beautiful connection immediately went viral on social media.
But Mahomes said it happened because of a fair dose of chaos during the play caused by Kelce.
“Long story short, Travis didn’t run the route he was supposed to run,” the two-time NFL MVP said.
“And then it was kind of a behind-the-back pass because I was mad, I was pissed off at Travis.
“He was supposed to run a flat route… he doesn’t run it.
“Out of spite, I threw a behind-the-back pass, but now it’s gonna be a highlight.”
