Look at where Mahomes releases it in relation to the yard marker and where Hill catches it in relation to the yard marker nearest him - it doesn't actually do any sort of snap-hook, though it damn sure looks like it.
I mean shit, throwing a submarine style fastball is pretty impressive in its own right...

The most impressive thing on that play is the anticipation of the Buffalo guy jumping. Mahomes was launching the ball while the guy was still in the way. If that guy doesn’t jump, it’s probably an INT. Mahomes must have been doing something with his eyes to get the guy to jump. Or he didn’t even see the guy and just got extremely lucky that the ball ended up going underneath the dude’s arms.
