Getty Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill reacts after catching a pass against the Broncos in 2018.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes loves the snow. So much so, the reigning league MVP threw an incredible 41-yard touchdown to wide receiver Tyreek Hill to open the Chiefs’ scoring against the Denver Broncos Sunday.
Bet you’ve never seen a @cheetah run in the snow before 🐆
Unfortunately, a muffed snap caused holder Dustin Colquitt to throw the ball away for the point after touchdown, but that was likely expected with the inches of snow pouring down at Arrowhead Stadium.
On their opening drive in the third quarter, Mahomes and Hill made magic again. The dynamic duo connected on a five-yard touchdown to extend Kansas City’s lead 23-3.

The Chiefs also attempted their first two-point conversion of the season following that score, which succeeded after Mahomes danced around in the pocket for a few minutes before finding wide receiver Sammy Watkins in the endzone.
There’s No Place Like Home
In their pre-game warm-ups, Mahomes and company could be seen laughing, frolicking and engaging in a lighthearted snowball fight, adjusting well to the bitterly cold weather in Kansas City and proving there is really no place like home.

Temperatures in Kansas City are a balmy 24 degrees, which some would say is prime football weather. That hasn’t seemed to impact Mahomes so far, he’s thrown for 15/19 with 210 yards and one touchdown. Even though he was sacked three times in the first half, Mahomes hasn’t allowed the loss of yardage impact his throwing ability or confidence.
Hill Adopted Two Puppies From a Local Shelter This Week
Following this chilly afternoon, Hill will probably be looking forward to heading home and warming up with his two new furry friends. On Friday, the three-time Pro Bowler adopted two puppies from Unleashed Pet Rescue and Adoption, a shelter located in Mission, Kansas.
Hill posted the exciting news to his Instagram account, revealing that he named his new best friends Heaven and Sky.
Mahomes has two dogs himself, whom he shares with longtime girlfriend Brittany Matthews. Their recent, Silver, was adopted after Mahomes won his first NFL MVP title earlier this year in February.
