The Kansas City Chiefs pulled off an unbelievable play last night during their slugfest against Dallas Cowboys. Trailing 14-3 with 2 seconds to go until half-time, Tyreek Hill landed a 57-yard wonder score.
Awaiting a Hail Mary, the Cowboys put seven players back in the end zone. Instead Chiefs quarter-back Alex Smith fired a short ball to Hill. Coach Andy Reid then relied on exceptional blocking, some lax tackling and Hill's lightning pace to torch the Cowboy's defence and complete the play of the year.

On commentary Tony Romo was dumbfounded by the play, declaring "I've never seen that in my entire time in football."

However the Dallas Cowboys shot back with a Zeke Elliot two-yard run in and Cole Beasley's second touchdown of the game to secure a 28-17 win.
