KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- While experimenting during a break at Kansas City Chiefs practice earlier this season, Patrick Mahomes got the idea to go in motion before returning behind center to receive the snap.
Mahomes later went to coach Andy Reid with an unconventional idea for a play using the quarterback in motion. The next thing Mahomes knew, Reid and the offensive assistants made the Mahomes pre-snap motion into a play and put it in the offensive plan for a midseason game against the Carolina Panthers.
The Chiefs used the play, which they call Ferrari Right, and it resulted in a 1-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to Demarcus Robinson.
