VIDEO: Breakdown of Patrick Mahomes' 3rd and 15 Throw to Tyreek Hill in Super Bowl is Incredible
This play will go down as one of the most clutch in Kansas City Chiefs history. Admit it, KC fans, with Patrick Mahomes and Co. facing a 3rd and 15 midway through the fourth quarter and your team down 20-10, you had a feeling it was all slipping away. Instead, Mahomes delivered some magic, tossing a 44-yarder to Tyreek Hill, who gave the 49ers defensive backs problems all night. NFL Films captured the breakdown of how that play went down, with "Wasp" instantly becoming a historic word for the city.
Take the time to watch that clip above -- we promise it's worth your time. You can see Mahomes calling for "Wasp" and asking offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy if there'd be enough time (in the pocket) to make it work.
Wasp calls for a double move by Hill, in which he uses his blazing speed to send the secondary for a ride. It worked like a charm against the 49ers, the same way it worked against the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game in 2019.
Without this completion from Mahomes to Hill, Jimmy Garoppolo and Kyle Shanahan likely would have been the ones lifting the Lombardi Trophy after the final whistle.
Instead, the parties in Kansas City have been nonstop, and fans continue to pile the streets to let these players know just how much they're loved following the thrilling Super Bowl LIV victory.
