Chiefs QB Chris Oladokun accidentally completed sick trick play

Backup quarterback Chris Oladokun gave Kansas City Chiefs fans his best Patrick Mahomes impression on a couple of plays Thursday against the Denver Broncos.

Oladokun and the Chiefs had 2nd-and-7 at their own 40 in the opening minute of the second half at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. Oladokun had to escape a crumbling pocket in what was shaping up to be a disastrous play.

Chiefs fans probably expected a huge loss or even a turnover when Oladokun fumbled as he rolled left. But Oladokun kept his composure, chased down the football, and threw a dart to JuJu Smith-Schuster for a first down.

Oladokun’s play would be an automatic letter in a game of gridiron H.O.R.S.E. Here’s an even better look at the unintentional trick play.

The Samford University alum pulled another rabbit out of his helmet early in the fourth quarter with a magical escape job to find Smith-Schuster again for a first down.

The game’s highlight reel, however, would make Oladokun’s performance seem better than it actually was. Oladokun went 13/22 for just 66 yards and a touchdown in his first NFL start, with a third of his yardage coming on the two plays above. He had just two of his passes go for over 10 yards.

The Chiefs still had a fighting chance in the closing minute, trailing 20-13 with possession. Oladokun got Kansas City to Denver’s 26 in the final seconds but failed to make the type of last-second pass Chiefs fans are used to seeing from Mahomes.
