In a thrilling matchup at SoFi Stadium, the Kansas City offense was sputtering until rookie sensation Xavier Worthy ignited the spark they desperately needed. With the Los Angeles Chargers holding a 10-point lead in the second quarter, Worthy left defenders in the dust, hauling in a deep 54-yard bomb from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to narrow the gap to 10-7.
The impressive catch showcased Mahomes’ incredible arm strength, with the pass traveling an astonishing 54 yards downfield – the longest of his career. It was also his longest scoring strike since connecting with Jerick McKinnon on a 56-yarder two seasons ago.
According to advanced analytics, Worthy’s speed was electrifying, reaching a remarkable 21.46 MPH as he sprinted to the end zone. This marks the second-fastest speed recorded by a ballcarrier on a touchdown play this season, trailing only Saquon Barkley’s blistering 21.66 MPH on a 65-yard rushing score against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3.
