As of only a few days ago, the plan was for PatrickMahomes to never step foot on GEHA Field during Thursday’s preseason finale. But moments after a punt turned the ball over to the Chiefs early in the first quarter, Mahomes walked toward the football’s resting place at the 47-yard line, with a note for referee Craig Wrolstad along the way. Announce the penalty as No. 16. The jersey number of one of the city’s top sports icons, Len Dawson. Mahomes insisted on being with his teammates as they leaned into a choir huddle formation, made famous by Len Dawson’s Chiefs a half-century ago. Dawson died this week at 87 years old. He was Patrick Mahomes in this town before there was Patrick Mahomes. He introduced this city to football in some ways, or at least its hometown team, and left behind a legacy as a player and subsequently a local and national broadcaster that inspired the moment that came Thursday.
