Kansas City Chiefs, Xavier Worthy ‘trickery’ play gives nod to Texas’ Steve Sarkisian’s playbook

Who wore it better?

The Kansas City Chiefs might not have got it done versus the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, as Kansas City fell to Buffalo 30-21. However, Kansas City debatably lost in style, if you’re a Texas Longhorns fan.

That’s largely due to Kansas City head coach Andy Reid borrowing a play from Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian’s playbook. You might even recognize it after the Longhorns ran the exact play less than two weeks ago: Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes took the snap, then faked two handoffs before he flipped the ball to wide receiver and Texas alum Xavier Worthy, who the franchise picked up in the first round of this past spring’s NFL Draft. Worthy then took the ball around the right side of Kansas City’s offensive line for a positive gain.

“Look at this tricky,” CBS announcer Jim Nantz can be heard saying in the clip below.

Look familiar?

Probably so.

Here’s Sarkisian running the same play versus Florida not too long ago.
