Jim Nantz: How do you stop Patrick Mahomes from the inevitable if you're the Bengals?
With about 1:30 left in Sunday's NFL Week 2 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium and the Bengals leading 25-23, the Chiefs had the ball at their own 40-yard line.
"How do you stop Mahomes from the inevitable if you're Cincinnati?" CBS play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz said during the broadcast.
"Is there anybody else in the National Football League that you want on 4th-and-16 other than this man here?" CBS color analyst Tony Romo said of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. "He always gives them a chance!"
Mahomes, of course, threw a long jump-ball pass, and Bengals rookie defensive back Daijahn Anthony was flagged for defensive pass interference.
"There's nobody on 4th-and-16 makes you feel more scared than Patrick Mahomes with the ball," Romo added, after the Chiefs' Harrison Butker kicked a game-winning field goal. "You think you'd have it. It's over. No. Every time I've seen him in 4th-and-long. His guy touches the ball. Whether he catches it or not. … And he does it again."
