The Kansas City Chiefs used an unconventional tactic to score their second touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon.
When the defending champions found themselves on Cincinnati’s goal line in the third quarter, they brought in offensive tackle Wanya Morris to make the Bengals think twice about selling out to defend the pass.
When Patrick Mahomes snapped the ball, he faked a run up the middle and hit Morris, who was an eligible receiver on the play, with a touchdown pass.
Check out this video of Kansas City’s latest big-man touchdown, which was posted to the Chiefs’ official Twitter account during the game:

This was Mahomes’ second touchdown pass in the game, and while it gave Kansas City a one-point lead, the Bengals drove down the field to re-take the lead later in the third period.
Expect to see Andy Reid continue to get creative as the Chiefs look to outlast Cincinnati in Week 2.
