Patrick Mahomes‘ arm is legendary.
Not only can the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback hurl a football 80 yards, but he was clocked at 60mph on the radar gun during the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine, tying the fastest recorded throw in that showcase.
And if that’s not impressive enough, remember that former MLB reliever Pat Mahomes’ son can also toss a baseball 95mph.
So, when an errant throw from Mahomes during Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills bounced into a cameraman squatting in the end zone, the result was understandably devastating.
Although the camera was undamaged, the crouching man was knocked down like a bowling pin.
‘This should be attempted murder,’ one fan joked of the pass intended for Travis Kelce.
Although the cameraman hasn’t been identified, the NFL did announce ‘he’s okay’
Mahomes completed just 15 of 34 passes for 250 yards as the Bills beat the Chiefs, 28-21
Later the NFL confirmed ‘he’s okay,’ though the league did not identify the man.
As for Mahomes, that misfire was one of several on a putrid day for him and the Chiefs’ passing game.
Not only was he limited to 15-of-34 passing for 250 yards, but he was sacked three times and tossed an interception as well.
And even though he and Kelce managed to convert a miraculous fourth-and-17 to set up a 2-yard Kareem Hunt touchdown run, the Chiefs still fell to 5-4 with the 28-21 loss.
For Buffalo, it was a fifth consecutive win over Kansas City during the regular season. However, the Chiefs hold the 4-0 postseason edge since 2020.
‘You know it’s going to come down to a couple of plays,’ Mahomes said. ‘They made those plays. [Bills quarterback Josh Allen] played great.’
