Then while people were processing that information, the 324-pound lineman dropped into coverage and intercepted a Patrick Mahomes pass in the end zone. Not settling for a touchback, Saunders then ran the ball out all the way to the 37. It was a legitimately wild scene to behold.

Khalen Saunders intercepted his old quarterback Patrick Mahomes, then showed off rare athleticism on the big return:

Khalen Saunders was seen using an oxygen mask after his third quarter interception against Patrick Mahomes and brother Kameron explains why.

New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Khalen Saunders swiped an end zone interception and rumbled 37 yards in Monday night's 26-13 loss in Kansas City.

Saints fans couldn’t believe Khalen Saunders picked off Patrick Mahomes. Then he shocked them again by taking the ball out of the end zone for a huge return:

Saunders, whose brother Kameron is a dancer on Taylor Swift's Eras tour, had just delivered a big hit to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce near the goal line and followed that up by intercepting Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the end zone, returning it 37 yards to set up a Saints touchdown drive.

The NFL may not give out MVP awards for regular season games, but the internet has certainly chosen one from Monday night’s matchup between the Saints and Chiefs.

Charging like a running back, the 6-foot, 324-pounder reached a top speed of 15.79. At 324 pounds, Khalen Saunders reached a top speed of 15.79 mph on his 36-yard interception, the 3rd-fastest speed by a ball carrier who weighs over 320 pounds since 2016.

He may be a defensive tackle now, but Khalen Saunders went back to his high school roots on "Monday Night Football."  Saunders, who played running back in high school, put that experience to use when he picked intercepted Patrick Mahomes' pass in the end zone before scampering 37 yards downfield late in the third quarter.
