Mahomes, meanwhile, joked that the trick move was done out of spite. “Travis didn’t run the route he was supposed to run, and then it was a kind of a behind-the-back pass, kinda ‘cause I was mad,” he said in a video shared on the Chiefs’Instagram.

“Out of spite, I threw a behind-the-back pass,” the soon-to-be father-of-three added.
