Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship game on Sunday. The Bills went three-and-out on their first drive, and then Mahomes and the Chiefs drove down the field for a nine play, 90-yard touchdown drive on the ensuing possession.

Mahomes accounted for 61 yards passing on the drive, and gained another four yards on the ground. Scrambling to his right on second-and-one from the Chiefs side of the field, Mahomes faked a pass that may not have fooled the Buffalo defense, but definitely caught one of CBS's camera operators leaning.

Patrick Mahomes absolutely FOOLED this cameraman. #ChiefsKingdom

No shame is falling for a Patrick Mahomes pump fake. It happens to some of the best defensive players on the planet.

Mahomes ended up with a first down on that play and most importantly, the camera stayed on the ball the rest of the drive.
