Patrick Mahomes simply cannot be stopped.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is slicing and dicing the Cincinnati Bengals defense in the first half of the AFC championship game, making nearly impossible throws look completely routine. He did it in the first quarter — on the Chiefs' first drive of the game, in fact — and he did it again in the second quarter, in a way that was somehow even more impressive.

On third-and-2, sitting on the Cincinnati 5-yard line, it looked like the Bengals might have finally gotten to Mahomes. They were chasing him, and he had to dance around to get away. Dodging and spinning, the Bengals made the mistake of letting him get room to throw. Because when he did, he found Travis Kelce and pitched the ball right to him.

He's been so good that he had to do a little shimmy to celebrate. He'd certainly earned it.

At this point we all have to admit that Mahomes might be an alien. There's no one who can do what he does and make it look so easy.
