This may end up being the easiest touchdown pass Patrick Mahomes ever makes during his professional career. On Saturday in the first quarter against the Chicago Bears, he tossed a simple swing pass to Kareem Hunt, who went 19 yards to the house as the Bears unconscionably forgot to cover him on the play.

That was way too easy.
Hunt was the NFL’s leading rusher and one of its top playmakers overall last year, so the Bears might want to consider, you know, covering him next time.
Though, it doesn’t help that Chicago made a head-scratching decision to not play most of its starters on both sides of the ball in this game.
