1. Most people would say that this piece of magic from Patrick Mahomes was the play of the day on Sunday.
Obviously, that play is just ridiculous, and I love Mahomes, but I saw another play Sunday that deserves even more credit. And all it was was an eight-yard completion.
Let me set the scene: Lions up 31–23 against the Vikings. Detroit with a third-and-7 at Minnesota’s 41-yard line with two minutes left, looking to close out the victory.
What was the Lions’ play call? Put 6-foot-5, 335-pound right tackle Penei Sewell in motion and then throw him the ball.
