The 2nd TD to Kelce is easily my favorite because it's a uniquely 'Mahomes' throw.
The only other one that can qualify for that honor is the score to Robinson, but it didn't impress me quite as much because it was a bit of a scramble drill.
What I want to see is the kind of 'next level' stuff that he can do within the offense. I've never doubted that when the play breaks down, Mahomes can still make things happen that nobody else in the league can do. What I want to see is how he can stay within the offense to make the offense itself more effective when it's working.
That throw to Kelce is exactly that animal. There are maybe 3 guys in the league with the arm strength to get that seed in there before the window closes. That play didn't really work all that well from a schematic standpoint; the DC had a defense called that really should have worked there - he simply took the play by the throat and made a possible FG drive into a TD drive.
The velocity into a triangle there is 'peak Reid offense' and proves that Reid can literally draw up anything and he has a guy that can execute it. That's my favorite and by a fair amount because it showed how spectacular the harmony between QB and playcaller can be.
