Regardless of what it was, the point is that the ball was PERFECTLY placed. And if it's not just a camera/angle illusion and there IS some actual movement on that throw (yes, like on a baseball pitch), Mahomes is almost certainly aware of whatever factors it takes to make the ball do that so that it lands perfectly where it's supposed to be for the receiver to catch it.
In other words, it's a Mahoming missile. |
Everyone calls this an intentional curveball, which I think is pretty ridiculous - it's pretty clearly an optical illusion due to the pan. Everything in the gif speeds up briefly when the ball "curves".
Regardless, a fantastic throw on the run, into the middle of three defenders. Can't wait to see this shit every week during the season.
