It’s Mahomes and Wilson. *
They are exchanging jerseys in spite of the fact that the one in red, just lost the game.
This is what used to be called ‘sportsmanship’.
I would wish that President Trump had any idea of this in his joyless life.

The image on this page came from a video from the Bleacher’s Report but it’s gone now.
Here’s one of the shirt-signing on YouTube.:

* – Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Cheifs.

The Chiefs were 11 and 3; the Seahawks were 8 and 6, but the Seahawks won.
The game was played in Seattle, yesterday- Dec. 23, 2018.

Football-passing miracle.:
I don’t know what they call it but Mahomes made one of those impossible, backwards passes.:
He is right handed. The natural way to pass the ball with the right hand is while facing (or running) toward the right side of the field. The right arm swings around in its natural arc.
But it is very awkward for a righty to pass the ball while facing (or running) toward the left.
An extreme version of this happened last night during the game in Seattle.
The announcers went on and on about it.
Later.:
It’s already on YouTube.:
m.youtube.com/watch?v=6ilh_Z7NEl8
The clear view of the awkward-but-successful pass is at
counter 0:14.
A ‘normal’ right-hander’s pass is seen later at
counter 0:27.
The awkward pass would have been a little easier if the pass was straight downfield. Even easier is it was abit to the left of downfied.
But the pass was to the _right_ of downfield. geez.
Oh.
The announcer’s term for the awkward pass is that he made the pass… “… across his body.”
I don’t get it.

It is interesting to see in the video that taking off a football jersey takes some doing.:
The shoulder pads are hard to get off and the jersey gets all bound up with them. They are both quite happy where they are, thankyou very much.
