Patrick Mahomes Reveals Hilarious Trick After Ravens’ Isaiah Likely’s Overturned TD

September 6, 2024 Michael Mills NFL 0

The thrilling end to Thursday night’s NFL season opener highlighted just how tight the competition can be in football, with the Kansas City Chiefs narrowly defeating the Baltimore Ravens 27-20 in a gripping finish. The Ravens needed a touchdown and an extra point to equalize, and quarterback Lamar Jackson executed a remarkable 11-play, 77-yard drive, ending with what seemed like a game-saving touchdown pass to tight end Isaiah Likely. As the clock ran out, Likely caught the ball in the back of the end zone, but upon review, the touchdown was overturned as his toe was deemed out of bounds.

“I believed it was a touchdown,” Jackson claimed after the game. “I still think it is a touchdown.”

As Ravens coach John Harbaugh instructed his team to get ready for a two-point conversion, the referee’s final call left Baltimore with yet another close defeat against Patrick Mahomes and the reigning Super Bowl champions. With the Ravens now standing at 1-5 against Mahomes, the disappointment was palpable.

Nonetheless, Mahomes couldn’t help but add a playful remark after the game.

“It looked good from my sideline view,” Mahomes said with a smile. “But after seeing the cleat in the replay, I told Likely he should go for white cleats next time. Just a tip.”

Despite the overturned touchdown, Likely had an impressive outing, making nine catches for 111 yards. As the Ravens faced yet another tight loss, they remained committed to bouncing back, with Likely confidently asserting, “If this is their best, good luck in the postseason.”
