5 Best KC Chiefs Plays from First Half of 2023 Season

3. Patrick Mahomes' 25-Yard Scramble on 3rd-and-23 vs. New York Jets - Week 3

Mahomes' 25-yard run for a massive first down late in the 4th quarter against the Jets was beautiful for so many reasons. To name a few:

1. It was eerily reminiscent of a play we've seen before
2. It came immediately after a 14-yard run for a first down was called back on a penalty
3. It perfectly showcased the new element in Mahomes' game that makes the Chiefs unstoppable

Things haven't always been pretty, but Mahomes is getting the job done in new ways. The Chiefs are No. 1 in the AFC for a reason, after all.

Kansas City's defense deserves its flowers and it'll soon get it here, though the two-time Super Bowl MVP is still piling up wins with clutch plays like this one. When the Chiefs need him to deliver, he nearly always does.

I've had a blast watching Mahomes scramble around and utilize his legs, though I'm certain defenses are furious about it.
