Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is great at a lot of things, and taunting is one of them.
During an episode of the new Netflix docuseries Quarterback, a camera caught the signal caller hilariously trash-talking the San Francisco 49ers defense from the bench.
The clip came after Mahomes hit wide receiver Marquez Valdez-Scantling for a long completion during the two teams’ game last fall. The big gain responded in part to 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga jumping a route and picking off one of Mahomes’ passes early in the game.
In the episode, Mahomes explained that NFL defenses had started pulling their safeties back to prevent deep passes when playing the Chiefs, and that the 49ers had bucked that trend on the pick by sending a safety down low.
Mahomes told a coach on the sideline that San Francisco knew better than to play a safety that close on the Chiefs. Soon after, he made the 49ers pay with the deep bomb to Valdez-Scantling.
“They don’t know I watch tape,” Mahomes joyously exclaimed from the bench after the big gain. “I got tape, brother. I got tape.”
It’s the kind of priceless moment a show like Quarterback can provide.
If they don’t know, now they know!

Mahomes and the Chiefs beat the 49ers that day, 44-23, and this video shows why Mahomes is a cerebral monster on the field. He can beat you with his skill, and he can beat you with his brain. And then, he’ll playfully taunt you from the sideline for it.
