Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes Reveals Scary Part Of New Injury

The Kansas City Chiefs have done well to overcome their long list of injuries, but in the fourth quarter of the 30-24 overtime win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it looked like Patrick Mahomes would be the latest name to add to the list.

After rolling out, Mahomes took off for the endzone in the fourth quarter before pulling up and lobbing a pass to running back Samaje Perine for the touchdown. But as Mahomes pulled up, he tweaked his ankle, leaving No. 15 on the ground, struggling to get up.

The entire Arrowhead crowd held its collective breath as Mahomes had to be helped off the field. But Patrick wouldn't miss a snap and would return to lead the Chiefs to another win after driving the field in overtime to seal their eighth of the season.

Speaking on his injury, Mahomes revealed that initially, he was scared he had done something serious.

“I mean, you feel the pain, and that scares you because I've dealt with ankles before,” Mahomes said. “But just kind of laid there, and as time went on, the pain subsided. So I just kind of got back to it and got back moving again and felt comfortable going out there.”

While Kansas City has done a good job overcoming injuries this season, if Mahomes went down, then that is a mountain too big to overcome.

Thankfully, the three-time Super Bowl champ was able to not only get back on the field but managed to lead his team to an overtime win by driving 70 yards in 11 plays to once again prove that in crunch time, Mahomes is inevitable.

But that ankle injury will be a big watch this week for Chiefs Kingdom.
