Key Game Machine Trick
The Kansas City Chiefs busted out the bag of tricks again during their 35-31 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
You’ll recall earlier in the season that the Chiefs have utilized a number of unique plays to get points or positive yardage in key situations. A few of the most recent include QB Patrick Mahomes throwing an underhand TD pass to Travis Kelce in Week 8 against the New York Jets. Then in Week 9 against the Carolina Panthers, they debuted “Ferrari Right” which sent Mahomes in pre-snap motion before the play.
On Sunday in Week 11, the Chiefs revealed a play that drew from elements of both of those plays and added it’s own unique twist. The twist, of course, was Kelce taking the snap in a Wildcat look. Check it out:

This play seemingly combines the underhand shovel pass and the pre-snap motion from the two plays. However, instead of Mahomes taking the ball this time around, it’s a direct snap to Kelce, who then gets the ball to WR Byron Pringle. Unfortunately, Pringle turned the wrong way upfield after catching the pass and ran into some traffic. He still managed to fight for the first down, but he could have had a touchdown had he turned the opposite direction.
Kelce spoke a bit about this play after the game, revealing its name and origin. Apparently, it was a very recent addition to the playbook.
“It went in, I think on Thursday or Friday,” Kelce said. “It’s called ‘Slot Machine Right.’ Yeah, I was hoping that we would hit all sevens on that son of buck, doggone man. But Pring (Byron Pringle) was out there trying to make a play and sure enough, we got some positive yards which was the best.”
Mahomes also spoke a bit about the play after the game. He was impressed with the underhand toss by Kelce but also thought the play could have been executed a bit better. He even thought that he was open in the flat on the play and could have beat Raiders linebacker Nick Kwiatkowski to the endzone.
“I thought he did a good job,” Mahomes said. “He was able to sell it, get the underhand throw on that inside shoulder and get Pringle a chance. We actually had it designed to be a little tighter. I think if we were able to get it even tighter we would have got that touchdown. I was even open the flat if he wanted to sling it out there as well.”

Kelce is now 1-for-2 passing in his career in Kansas City. His last pass came against the New York Giants back in 2017. He threw an interception on that one.
