Patrick Mahomes Fulfills His Pre-Game Promise to Son, Thanks to DeAndre Hopkins

Which Defensive Player Has Recorded Most Sacks Against Patrick Mahomes?

Patrick Mahomes keeps his promises. Tonight, he made a promise to his son that he’s gonna score a touchdown for him, so that’s just what he did.

As the Chiefs were trying to fight back from an early deficit to take a second-quarter lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Monday Night Football” in Week 9, Mahomes connected with DeAndre Hopkins.

On Kansas’s third possession of the game, Mahomes threw a deep 35-yard pass to Hopkins, who scored the go-ahead touchdown—his first with the Chiefs.

Mahomes managed to throw the ball, even while being swarmed by defenders, and Hopkins too was swarmed by the Buccaneers’ defense but used incredible concentration to make the catch.
