KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kids have been drawing up plays in the playground dirt as long as football has been played, their audacious designs usually featuring creative reverses, multiple laterals and even tight ends throwing passes back to the quarterback.Wait a minute — those are the plays Patrick Mahomes has been drawing up.For the second time this season, the Chiefs used a play dreamed up by their quarterback in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay.
It was called “The Black Pearl” because, well, they were playing the Buccaneers, and it began with Mahomes pitching to Tyreek Hill on a standard end-around.
