Travis Kelce has admitted he 'blacked out' before throwing a lateral to Samaje Perine in the Kansas City Chiefs' win over the New Orleans Saints.
Kelce sent fans wild in the second quarter of Monday night's game after flicking an underhanded lateral to Chiefs teammate Perine, who nearly picked up the first down after facing a third and 22.
On the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, Travis' brother Jason quizzed him on the incredible pass, which Kansas City head coach Andy Reid confirmed was a designed call.
Jason, who was covering the game at Arrowhead with ESPN, said about the lateral: 'You did the riskiest thing! What was going on here?
'I knew, before you even pitched this... when you caught it I was like, "This dude is about to pitch the ball." What goes on in your head?'
Travis then revealed: 'It all happened so fast. I kind of blacked out, which I'm sure Coach Reid is going to love hearing.'
'I'm sure Coach Reid doesn't care,' Jason replied. 'Because there's never been one of these that hasn't worked out!'
Kelce's last attempt at a lateral was a successful one, but ultimately it didn't not count after his overhanded throw to Kadarius Toney, which would have brought a go-ahead touchdown against the Buffalo Bills, was called back due to an offside penalty against the former Chiefs wide receiver.
This time, though, Perine had moved into a legal position before taking the catch from Kelce and completing a 21-yard gain.
Jason then asked his brother if he knew where the running back was going to be as he caught the ball himself.
'I had no idea,' Travis admitted. 'I was reversing field, I felt guys over, I was like, "Oh, I can get more yards going this way" and then I realized I couldn't get more yards going that way.
