Patrick Mahomes fans who were hoping to see an extended run from the two-time All-Pro quarterback in Saturday’s preseason game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Arizona Cardinals were left disappointed.

Brownlee made a heck of a touchdown catch, the highlight of the Chiefs’ 20-17 loss to the Cardinals in the preseason opener here in Arizona — and, ahem, most certainly the highlight of the 48 seconds Patrick Mahomes spent on the field. But there’s something far more telling about that play. The throw. Or, rather, the decision to throw it at all.
