Chiefs' Trick Plays Dazzle Opponents, Delight Fans
27 Oct
Summary
- Chiefs' playbook full of innovative trick plays
- Mahomes and Reid collaborate to create unique, successful plays
- Trick plays often used near the goal line to catch defenses off guard
On Monday, October 27, 2025, the Washington Commanders will face the Kansas City Chiefs in a crucial Week 8 matchup at Arrowhead Stadium. However, the real story may be the Chiefs' innovative and dazzling trick plays that have become a hallmark of their offense under the leadership of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid.
The Chiefs have long been known for their creative and successful use of trick plays, with a playbook so full of them that it could be its own book, aptly titled "Tricks and Treats." From the "Snow Globe" play against the Raiders to the "Catch and Release" touchdown for left tackle Eric Fisher, the combined ingenuity of Mahomes and Reid has consistently caught opponents off guard.
The Chiefs often unveil these trick plays near the goal line, where they have been reluctant to run simple quarterback sneaks after Mahomes suffered a knee injury attempting one. The compact field makes it a challenge to get that last yard or two, and the myriad ruses tend to catch defenses off guard. Whether it's a direct snap to a running back or a play that involves the entire offense spinning in the huddle, the Chiefs' bag of tricks has become a must-watch for NFL fans.
As the Commanders prepare to face the Chiefs, they can expect to see more of these innovative plays, as Reid and Mahomes continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in the NFL.
