Patrick Mahomes opened Kansas City’s 24-10 Week 3 win over Miami with a play-action fake to Kenneth Walker and a 48-yard pass to Travis Kelce. Walker later scored on a five-yard pitch after another fake, as the Chiefs used him to open passing lanes.
Mahomes had set a career high the previous week with 14 completions on 17 play-action attempts for 137 yards and two touchdowns. Kansas City also used more under-center looks for the fakes; in 2025, it ran only 44.3% of its rushes from under center, 29th in the NFL.
A fake to Walker helped set up Tyquan Thornton’s 17-yard catch on third-and-1. With 5:16 left, Mahomes faked to Walker again before hitting Rashee Rice for 34 yards to seal the win.
