The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos 31-10, highlighted by an unusual trick play described as a 1930s “Heisman” shovel pass. In the end zone area, quarterback Patrick Mahomes lines up from what the story says is a three-point stance and, as the offense moves, scoops a short shovel pass to running back Kenneth Walker III, who crosses in front and scores.
The accounts frame the play as inspired by older game film from the 1930s and emphasize the formation, timing, and staging of the backfield. Both reports describe Mahomes being joined by backup quarterback Justin Fields and Walker in close proximity near Denver’s goal line, with the play executed as multiple players begin their motion at once. The coverage suggests the trick play is a statement for the Chiefs’ season, though it does so without detailing how Denver responded beyond the overall game score.
