New England Patriots linebacker Robert Spillane puts hit-stick tackle to stop the Cleveland Browns third-down trick play.

The Chiefs often unveil their trick plays near the goal line, where they've been reluctant for years to run simple quarterback sneaks after Mahomes hurt his knee trying one in a game against Denver. The field is compacted, making it a challenge to get that last yard or so before the end zone, and the myriad ruses tend to catch defenses off guard.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes faked out the Raiders — and CBS broadcasters — with his acting skills. Here's what happened.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen hits wide receiver Keon Coleman who then laterals to running back Ty Johnson for a 10-yard gain on the trick play.

The Detroit Lions still have their tricks. They just didn't follow all the rules. The Lions ran a fun play on fourth-and-goal Sunday night to open the game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Jared Goff lined up under center, then went in motion.

When discussing the play after the game, which the Chiefs won 31-0, Mahomes found a funny way to lightly roast himself before sharing more about the origins of the trickery. "I think it comes from my State Farm commercials," Mahomes said to laughs, when asked what made the shenanigans look so natural.

Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb went into his bag and pulled out some new tricks against South Carolina. That made all the difference late in the game.
