Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown recorded 10 of 16 targets for 99 yards in the Chiefs’ 27-21 loss to the Chargers—reported the RotoWire Staff of CBS Sports.
Brown led the team in receptions after second-year wide receiver Xavier Worthy exited the game due to a shoulder collision with tight end Travis Kelce. The veteran wide receiver got a much-needed boost—which was evident when Patrick Mahomes threw a 49-yard pass to a wide-open Brown just minutes before the game ended.
Unreal–Patrick Mahomes throws on 4th & 7 to wide-open Hollywood Brown
Time ticking away—with only three minutes and 20 seconds left on the clock, and the scoreboard looking scary for the Chiefs(18-27)–Patrick Mahomes threw a jaw-dropping 49-yard pass to wide-open wide receiver Hollywood Brown.
Mahomes spotted and trusted Brown—like the commentator put it, “Mahomes running for his life from Khalil Mack, throws to wide-open Hollywood Brown! Inside the 10. Holy smokes! On 4th down.
Wide-open. Gained a 49! You’ve got to be kidding me.” The NFL’s official Instagram shared the iconic play’s footage from Mahomes’ perspective. He was pushed by Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Khalil Mack to the ground. However, as the NFL’s Instagram post stated: “Play is never over with this guy”—it never truly is.
Mahomes fell to the ground with Mack over him, but the ball left his hand and safely landed in Brown’s hand—right on time! The Chiefs gained three points from that unreal moment, changing the scary scoreboard from 18-27 to 21-27.

One fan inquired, “Why did hollywood stop? Why not keep running.” Maybe because they lost, but he scored. Maybe because he saved their team in the end(by gaining three points). Maybe because he was happy, but not so much? It was a bittersweet moment for Brown. He scored three points but lost to the Chargers.
