Patrick Mahomes is normally as surefire as it gets at quarterback. It feels like he normally sees everything that goes down on the field.
But on the final play of regulation in Super Bowl he appeared to actually miss an opportunity for a game-winning touchdown in the final seconds.
Mahomes threw the ball to Kelce in the corner of the endzone where he was tightly covered by Fred Warner. But he appeared to have Rashee Rice breaking out wide open in the middle of the field.
This was a huge play. It was an opportunity to win the game and the Chiefs just missed it.

Rice knew it, too. He had a word with Mahomes before heading to overtime.

That’s a crucial play that could’ve completely ended the game. But the Chiefs will have to move on to OT.
