Travis Kelce Reacts to Patrick Mahomes Injury as Chiefs Miss Playoffs

A Sunday loss to the Los Angeles Chargers brought heartbreak to Kansas City, but the biggest blow came in the form of a devastating 🤕Injury to star quarterback 🏈Patrick Mahomes.

According to Fox News, the Chiefs fell 16-13 at Arrowhead Stadium, officially ending their playoff hopes, and Mahomes suffered a torn ACL late in the fourth quarter.

Tight end 🏈Travis Kelce, speaking on his podcast New Heights, expressed the team’s shock and frustration.

“We lost our quarterback, Patty Mahomes, our guy, our brother, our fearless leader, our face of the franchise, to an ACL. It’s never easy seeing your guys go down. We had a bunch of guys get hurt this past game, and we fought. We fought, we had some guys fight through some stuff,” he said.

He added, “On a freakish play to see (Mahomes) go down like that, man, it was almost like it wasn’t real and s— just sucks, man. For a guy that puts in that much and puts his body on the line week in and week out… it sucks.”

Mahomes’ injury came while the Chiefs were down 16-13 and attempting a late comeback. Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew entered the game and battled, though a game-sealing interception dashed the team’s playoff hopes. Kelce praised Minshew’s effort despite the outcome.
