Fans quickly speculated that the captains weren&#8217;t photographed together, suggesting heavy use of Photoshop to create the final lineup.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__summary\">\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-dailymotion ue-c-article__media-video-responsive ue-c-article__media-video-responsive--16-9\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__media-img-container ue-l-article--expand-edge-right-until-tablet ue-l-article--expand-edge-left-until-tablet\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__media-video-responsive ue-c-article__media-video-responsive--16-9\">\n<div id=\"video-x9ciz0w\" class=\"dailymotion-player-root dailymotion-player-xnri6\">\n<div class=\"dailymotion-player-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"dailymotion-player\" title=\"Dailymotion video player - Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs turn into comic superheroes before their playoff game against Texans\" src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player\/xnri6.html?video=x9ciz0w\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\">\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption-inner\"><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs turn into comic superheroes before their playoff game against Texans<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">The photo that had fans in stitches<\/h2>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">&#8220;Why does\u00a0<strong>Chris Jones<\/strong>\u00a0look like a cardboard cutout at a local dealership?&#8221; one fan joked, adding crying emojis for effect.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">Another fan quipped, &#8220;Why do I feel like @StoneColdJones is photoshopped in lol.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\">The most creative reactions highlighted\u00a0<strong>Jones<\/strong>&#8216; seemingly impossible placement in the image. &#8220;<strong>Chris\u00a0<\/strong>is both in front of and behind Mahomes, the box, and\u00a0<strong>Bolton\u00a0<\/strong>all at the same time.
