Patrick Mahomes practices ‘point of emphasis’ with Travis Kelce as Chiefs also reveals trick play at training camp
THE Kansas City Chiefs will have to prepare for more sorcery from Patrick Mahomes and the back-to-back Super Bowl-defending champion.
The Chiefs revealed a focus to work on offense during training camp - and they could use a trick play to fool opposing defenses.
On Monday, the Chiefs revealed a "point of emphasis" that they geared toward improving on in training camp and the upcoming season.
Kansas City shared on their website that they focused on "moving the chains when facing short third-down situations" in Monday's practice.
The team then "executed a variety of play designs during the period, which included completed passes to tight ends Travis Kelce, Noah Gray and Irv Smith."
Among the plays was a hook and ladder trick play that circulated on X.

Kelce and running back Isiah Pacheco were part of the play.
The star tight end caught the ball from Mahomes on the right side, and proceeded to pitch it back to Pacheco who ran for what appeared to be about 10 yards before being pushed out of bounds.
Fans were blown away with the play, and believe opposing teams have their work cut out for them when they will face the Chiefs.
"Man the offense is going to be so explosive this season. Going to be so fun," one stated.
