Patrick Mahomes celebrated a playoff touchdown by nearly throwing the ball completely out of the stadium

The Kansas City Chiefs wasted no time getting their offense going on Sunday.

After receiving the opening kickoff of their playoff game against the Cleveland Browns, the Chiefs marched down the field with a tidy 10-play, six-minute drive to open the game with a touchdown.

Patrick Mahomes punched the ball in for Kansas City, scrambling to his right and finding enough space to reach the end zone on his feet.

As impressive as the Chiefs drive was, Mahomes' celebration was even more breathtaking. After crossing the goal line, Mahome cocked back his arm and fired a cannon into the stands of Arrowhead Stadium. At first glance, it looked as though Mahomes sent the ball into orbit.

A fan captured video of Mahomes' throw into the stands, showing that while it did remain in the stadium, Mahomes appeared to reach the upperdeck of Arrowhead.

Even after scoring with his legs, Mahomes still found a way to show off his arm.
