Mahomes completed just 24-of-43 pa ses for 177 yards, two touchdowns and one interceptions. For some QBs, that would constitute a decent display. For Mahomes, it was Luis Severino Jersey a disappointment.Still, with the game hanging in the balance and the ball firmly tethered to Mahomes' golden arm, all hope was not lost.

Two plays later, Andy Reid and Co. dialed up The Big One: Marquez Valdes-Scantling left his marker in the dust with a streak route, prancing towards open terrain. With the end zone gaping, all he had to do was cushion Mahomes' floated pa s.He did not. The ball ricocheted off of every inch of Valdes-Scantling's body before tumbling to the ground.

And yet, within seconds, it had turned to Lou Gehrig Jersey ashes.And Mahomes was left gobsmacked, hands sprawled over his helmet as if in a daze. He had to dust himself off soon, though. An intentional grounding call left him and the Chiefs with just one more opportunity on fourth-and-long.MORE:Mahomes gave Kansas City one more chance with a laser toward Justin Watson.
