Brownlee made a heck of a touchdown catch, the highlight of the Chiefs’ 20-17 loss to the Cardinals in the preseason opener here in Arizona — and, ahem, most certainly the highlight of the 48 seconds Patrick Mahomes spent on the field. But there’s something far more telling about that play. The throw. Or, rather, the decision to throw it at all.

Patrick Mahomes appeared in just two plays for the Kansas City Chiefs in their preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals, but he certainly made the most of it. Mahomes scored a touchdown before he was officially replaced by backup quarterback Gardner Minshew during Saturday's contest.
