The defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs, playing Sunday in the stadium that will host this season’s Super Bowl, took an early 3-0 lead. That’s when the Patrick Mahomes to Tyreek Hill show began.

Hill caught a pass way downfield and outran Bucs defenders for a 75-yard touchdown catch to make it 10-0 at the 6:49 mark. Mahomes then connected again with Hill, this time for a 44-yard pass in which Hill caught the pass, outran one defender, juked another and then did a backflip as he entered the end zone. That made it 17-0 with 1:32 remaining … in the first quarter.

The reactions on Twitter were almost as spectacular as Hill himself.
