A secret of Mahomes-to-MVS TD in Chiefs-Bengals? Play was designed to go other way

Kansas City Chiefs receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling had six catches for a season-high 116 yards with a touchdown in KC’s 23-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game.

In this video, Kansas City Star reporter Jesse Newell and Brett Taveau — author of the Chiefs book “Unpacking Greatness” and a longtime high school offensive coordinator — show how Valdes-Scantling beat Cincy with the threat of speed, while also highlighting how Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes found the receiver for a second-half touchdown ... even though he was the passing play’s fourth read.
