Patrick Mahomes hinted during the week that he wanted to throw a behind-the-back pass during a game. He delivered during Saturday's preseason game against the Detroit Lions at Arrowhead Stadium. Mahomes went behind the back to Travis Kelce for an 8-yard gain and a first down on Mahomes' last drive of the game before he was pulled in favor of backup Carson Wentz late in the first quarter. Mahomes said the play wasn't designed for him to throw behind his back, but it worked out anyway. "It has to happen naturally,'' Mahomes said after the Lions beat the Chiefs 24-23 on a walk-off field goal. "I can't force it. ... It probably looked pretty cool, but I haven't actually got to see it yet.'' Mahomes said he has been urged to try a behind-the-back pass by coach Andy Reid.
