Reserve receivers for Chiefs reeling in big plays from Patrick Mahomes

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Lost amid the fourth-quarter heroics of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes during Monday night's comeback win over the Denver Broncos was this: The two biggest plays on the winning touchdown drive were made by backups.

Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson made a diving catch for 23 yards on second-and-30, giving the Chiefs a realistic hope of extending the drive. Tight end Demetrius Harris got open on the next play, catching a 35-yard pass that put the Chiefs at the Denver 11.

Mahomes and the Chiefs' leading receivers, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce, are getting most of the attention -- and for good reason.
