The NFL took time to appreciate Patrick Mahomes’ best plays from the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl campaign in a compilation video posted to Twitter on Wednesday.
In their showcase of the top 20 highlights from Mahomes’ MVP campaign, perhaps the most perplexing aspect of the video, besides the quarterback’s otherworldly skills, was the league’s inability to add his Week 13 touchdown pass to Jerick McKinnon against the Denver Broncos, which was among the best plays of his career.

Though the oversight by the NFL on that play, in particular, was egregious, the sheer number of incredible passes that Mahomes accumulated over the course of the 2022 season clearly made cutting the list down to just 20 plays a difficult proposition.
This play not making the cut is a pretty egregious oversight in my opinion. https://t.co/wpEhAlTDHI pic.twitter.com/B5Ed7jwGIl

With some luck and a little bit of help from second-round pick Rashee Rice next season, Mahomes could manage to outdo himself in 2023 and give the league even more hard choices next season when they commemorate his accomplishments.
