KANSAS City Chiefs fans got a peek at a family connection after the team shared a clip from their practice on Tuesday night.
The clip shared on the Chiefs’ official X account, formerly known as Twitter, shows Patrick Mahomes completing a touchdown pass to WR Rashee Rice.

Several fans rushed to comment on the video to show appreciation for Mahomes’ “beautiful spiral” to Rice.
“Beautiful spiral [surprised face] @PatrickMahomes,” wrote one fan.
“We are in the fast lane,” commented another.
“LOVE HIM YES BABY,” wrote a third fan.
“Pure fire,” commented a fourth fan.
While many Chiefs fans are excited about a possible connection between Mahomes and Rice this season, they will have to wait a while to see it.
The NFL will likely suspend Rice for several games after the wide receiver was involved in a hit-and-run incident in March.
NFL reporter James Palmer believes Rice could miss up to half the season.

“He’s going to be suspended, we’re going to get that out there,” Palmer said.
“They’re waiting at least half the season.”
Meanwhile, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport still thinks there is hope that Rice can play this season.
“As you guys explained, the offense without Rashee Rice there, what we don’t know is whether or not he will be eligible to start the season with the Kansas City Chiefs,” Rapoport said.
“And it really depends on how quickly the legal process unfolds. If his case – and he was charged with, I believe, six counts – if the case is dismissed, then there is potential for the NFL to issue his discipline and he would probably be suspended.
“Discipline would be addressed the following season. So the timing is really an issue, not whether or not he will be suspended.”
Rice currently faces eight charges related to the March 30 hit-and-run incident.

The Super Bowl champion’s charges include aggravated assault, collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury.
Rice’s offseason troubles continued when the star wide receiver was accused of assault at a Dallas nightclub in early May.
Last season, Rice was the most productive receiver not named Kelce, racking up 938 yards and seven touchdowns.
He continued his success during the Chiefs Super Bowl championship, setting an NFL rookie record with 26 postseason receptions.
If Rice is suspended, the Chiefs will have a wide receiver room that includes newly signed Marquise Brown, Justin Watson, Skyy Moore, Kadarius Toney and Justyn Ross.
