Let's get in formation . . .
The Chiefs are nothing if not willing to push the envelope on offense. Whether it's Patrick Mahomes shuffle passes, Patrick Mahomes jump passes or some entirely different form of wizardry we haven't yet been able to identify, they certainly have a flair for creativity.
Kansas City unveiled a new page in their ever-expanding playbook Saturday against the Raiders in Las Vegas. Leading 24-3 and with the ball inside the Raiders' 10 in the second quarter, the Chiefs opted to line running back Jerick McKinnon behind center in a shotgun formation, and Mahomes behind McKinnon. Before they did all that, they decided to do a little twirling in the huddle.

All 11 KC players spun around in a move that looked like it came from an elementary school blacktop.
So this just happened? 😂

Coming out of a spinning huddle, the Chiefs aligned in a wildcat formation, setting up a screen pass to Kadarius Toney with a blocking advantage.
Toney found the end zone on the play, however, the TD was called back due to a holding call.#KCvsLV | #ChiefsKingdom pic.twitter.com/YmfAndpPZ6

According to Patrick Mahomes, the play is called "Snow Globe." KC drew it up around Christmas, in accordance with the holiday cheer.

The Las Vegas front seven looked stupefied, stuck in quicksand as it tried to gauge just what Andy Reid's squad was doing. Can you blame them?
The trickery nearly produced points for Kansas City: McKinnon pitched the ball to Mahomes, who then hit Kadarius Toney for a 9-yard score.
Unfortunately for KC, the play was called back after officials adjudged Creed Humphrey grabbed a hold of an opponent's jersey.

That Chiefs TD that didn't count with the dancing huddle was the dumbest best thing ever.

If anyone is still wondering if Andy Reid is a genius we just did a ring-a-roses dance huddle coming out of an opposition touch down. Then snapped it to the RB, who tossed it to the QB, who made the TD pass.
And it will never count. 💔
