Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes reaction to wacky training camp blunder goes viral

Even one of the greatest quarterbacks in the world makes mistakes. Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes recently proved that he is still human during training camp, resulting in a hilarious viral moment.

During a recent practice, Mahomes dropped back and attempted to fire a pass to wide receiver Andrew Armstrong. Instead of hitting his intended target, the three-time Super Bowl MVP accidentally drilled center Hunter Nourzad right in the back of the neck.

The bizarre misfire was quickly caught on video and circulated across social media. Fans rarely see the historically accurate quarterback miss by such a wide margin, making the clip an instant hit online.

Never one to shy away from a joke at his own expense, Mahomes took to social media to address the comical blunder. He replied to the viral clip with a classic meme from the 2005 comedy movie “The Longest Yard.” The reaction featured Adam Sandler’s character missing a throw and exclaiming, “It slipped, I just ate popcorn.”

It is safe to say that Chiefs fans can forgive a minor August mishap. Mahomes is coming off a rather difficult 2025 campaign where Kansas City struggled to find its footing. Looking at the box score stats from last season, he threw for 3,587 yards and 22 touchdowns as the team finished with a 6-11 record. As the team gears up for the 2026 NFL season, the vibes around camp remain remarkably lighthearted.

While young players like Mansoor Delane and Cyrus Allen make names for themselves early in camp, and head coach Andy Reid continues to scheme up the offense, the spotlight always finds Mahomes. Luckily, Nourzad shook off the friendly fire, and the franchise quarterback gave the internet a good laugh.
