Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs made it through to another AFC title game. The health of his ankle, though, could determine if they reach Super Bowl 57, Safid_Deen writes.
And he would not be denied.
Mahomes, 27, has one Super Bowl. But having a second Super Bowl ring would further solidify his legacy. “I just love competing in this sport,” Mahomes said. “Pain is pain and you have to deal with it either way.” “Obviously I have a lot of adrenaline going right now, so we’ll see how it feels . But I’ll hop right into treatment tonight and try to do whatever I can to be as close to 100 percent by next week. Luckily for us, we played the early game on Saturday so we get an extra half a day that I can let the ankle rest.”
“Listen, he’s a tough kid. He wanted to be in there. He wanted to be in there competing and that’s a tribute to him and his competitiveness. However, you got to make sure he’s physically okay to protect himself, and if he can’t, he can’t play. When I tell you he’s competitive, he’s very competitive.”
Mahomes even stepped up into the pocket and threw a jump pass off his left leg to receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling that gave Kansas City a 10-point lead with 7:08 remaining.
