KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Something told receiver Byron Pringle to stay alert on what would become the most significant play of his NFL career, even when it looked like Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes would have no chance to get him the ball.
That something was that his quarterback is Mahomes.
"One thing about Mahomes: You just stay alive and keep moving because he will find you anywhere on the field, even if he is in the stands," Pringle said.
Mahomes eluded opposing defenders for long enough on the play in question to indeed find Pringle last week against the Indianapolis Colts for a 27-yard touchdown, the first of Pringle's brief NFL career and one of the longest plays of his first 100-plus-yard game (he finished with 103).
