Getty Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback picked up right where he left off when the reigning world champions opened the 2020 season against the Houston Texans. The $503 million man tossed a sensational 6-yard pass to tight end Travis Kelce for the team’s first score at Arrowhead Stadium this season.
After being down 7-0 at the end of the first, they began the second quarter at 1st and goal. Following a stop by Kelce and an incomplete pass to Demarcus Robinson, Mahomes connected with the receiver to tie the game.
On Kansas City’s opening drive, Mahomes launched a 36-yard rocket to Robinson, which was initially ruled as a TD. Upon further review, it was determined Robinson did not maintain control of the ball coming down and it was ultimately ruled incomplete.
