By now, just about everyone and their mother knows that Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a whole bag of tricks and then some. With the reigning Super Bowl MVP pulling out a few tricks early on against the Baltimore Ravens, Mahomes' shovel pass to fullback Anthony Sherman couldn't have come at a better time.
With Sherman coming onto the field for third and goal, Mahomes found the veteran blocker on a deleted shovel pass underneath — a play that completely fooled the entire Ravens defense.

Thanks to the short pitch and catch from Mahomes to Sherman, the Chiefs extended the team's early lead to 13-3. The Chiefs initially scored a touchdown on the team's first possession in Baltimore as Mahomes ran it in himself from a few yards outside the end zone.
With this game slated to be one for the ages, why not have a fullback touchdown in the second quarter?
