Known for his no-look passes, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes recently praised Miami Dolphins playmaker Ryan Fitzpatrick and hailed his late-game heroics as the ‘best no look pass of all time' after his team's Week 16 encounter against the Las Vegas Raiders via Twitter.
I know I’m late but best no look pass of all time 😂😂😂

The Dolphins eventually found themselves in a tightly-contested affair against the Raiders which involved a back-and-forth scoring exchange in crunch time. Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was slotted in late in the game for rookie Tua Tagovailoa, then decided to take matters into his own hands.
Owning a precarious lead of 25-23 with 19 seconds left in the game, the Raiders were poised to secure the Week 16 victory by way of a good defensive stop. After Miami's offense took the snap, Fitzpatrick's facemask was ensuingly pulled down by a Raiders defender which immediately brought the veteran to the ground.
Nonetheless, Fitzpatrick still managed to launch a 34-yard no-look long bomb to wide receiver Mack Hollins who hauled it in to advance the ball for an additional 15 yards on the penalty.
Dolphins placekicker Jason Sanders eventually put the finishing touches on the game with a successful field goal attempt en route to a 26-25 victory against the Raiders.
Indeed, Ryan Fitzpatrick's clutch no-look pass was a game-changer for the Dolphins that basically saved their season and inched them closer towards securing a postseason berth. The Florida-based squad now improved to a 10-5 record to tighten their grip on the second spot of the AFC East while the Raiders slid down to a 7-8 tally to be in danger of losing out on a spot in the playoffs.
Head coach Brian Flores and his team will aim to handle their business and extend their two-game winning streak as they head to an AFC East showdown against the Buffalo Bills for their final game of the season.
