Jerick McKinnon was unsure 56-yard touchdown pass was coming his way

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon finished Sunday’s 34-28 win over the Denver Broncos with seven receptions for 112 yards and two touchdowns. It was only the second 100-yard receiving game of the veteran back’s career — and his first since 2017. Before Sunday, McKinnon had never recorded multiple receiving touchdowns in a game.

The play of the game came in the second quarter, as quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw an indescribable short pass while scrambling. McKinnon stumbled (but recovered) while catching the no-look target, turning the awkward throw into a 56-yard touchdown reception.
