Coaches aren't shy about drawing up trick plays that let quarterbacks use their hands for more than throwing a football.

Andy Dalton, Jacoby Brissett and Jeff Driskel were the only other quarterbacks to catch passes in 2019 but their receptions came on tipped balls they threw. All of these plays began in shotgun formation because quarterbacks aren't eligible to catch passes if they line up under centre.

As No. 2 seed, Chiefs on cusp of returning to AFC title game Winnipeg Free Press - December 30, 2019

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon III (25) is tackled by Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Anthony Hitchens, left, and linebacker Reggie Ragland (59) during the first half of an NFL football game in Kansas City, Mo., Sunday, Dec. 29, 2019. - The Kansas City Chiefs were inches away from playing in the Super Bowl a year ago and, to many in their locker room, the sting of that overtime loss to New England has served as motivation to return to the AFC title game this season. That means they get the week off while the Patriots are forced to play a wild-card game, and ensures a divisional-round game will be played at Arrowhead Stadium the next weekend. The Patriots still have Tom Brady, and the Texans already have gotten the best of Kansas City once this season. STOCK DOWNWide receiver Sammy Watkins had just one catch for 8 yards against Los Angeles, though part of that had to do with the fact that Kansas City rarely had the ball.

Dolphins stun Pats; Chiefs top Chargers to grab bye in AFC Winnipeg Free Press - December 29, 2019

It is the second straight season the Dolphins have denied the Patriots an unbeaten division record. The Chiefs (12-4) long ago clinched their fourth straight AFC West title, but they needed a win and an unlikely Dolphins victory over the Patriots to get a week off. Already missing three starting wide receivers for the fourth straight game, the Eagles also began the game without Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz and right tackle Lane Johnson. But Wentz guided the Eagles (9-7) to their fourth straight win and second division title in three seasons. The Raiders lost five of their last six games in missing the playoffs for the second straight season under Gruden.
