Kansas City had the ball on the Broncos' 2-yard line. Facing first-and-goal, the Chiefs trotted out both Patrick Mahomes and fellow quarterback Justin Fields. They were lined up side-by-side in the backfield, each posing in a three-point stance pre-snap. Mahomes said in the wake of Monday's victory that the play's called 'Heisman.'

Fields' dual-threat ability opens door for expanded offensive packages with Mahomes.

Fields lined up alongside Patrick Mahomes in the Chiefs' backfield on a trick play in Week 1, positioned in a three-point stance pre-snap as part of a dual-quarterback package. Mahomes noted post-game that Fields' dual-threat ability—both running and throwing—could lead to more offensive packages featuring him, suggesting expanded role development beyond the initial iteration.
