Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completely fooled CBS announcers Jim Nantz and Tony Romo, and possibly the Las Vegas Raiders defense, in the second quarter of their Week 7 matchup on Sunday.
Mahomes and the Chiefs began the second quarter with a 4th-and-1 decision. The Chiefs could try to get the Raiders to jump offside, run a QB sneak to try to convert for a first down, or take a penalty and move the ball back to set up a punt. It seemed like the superstar player was just trying to get the Raiders to take a penalty.

He got Travis Kelce and running back Brashard Smith moving and offered some expletives before snapping the ball.
“This never works, man,” Mahomes said.
When the ball was snapped, Nantz and Romo let themselves be fooled. The former Dallas Cowboys star was confident that Mahomes would get the Raiders to jump. Instead, he handed the ball to Kareem Hunt and the running back picked up a first down.
Mahomes remained calm throughout the game. He was 26 of 35 with 286 passing yards and three touchdown passes as Kansas City won the game, 31-0. He was removed from the game after the third quarter in place of Gardner Minshew II.
