Kansas City: The week before the game against the Texans was filled with chatter about how well Patrick Mahomes would perform with his ankle injury. It didn’t take long for him to show everyone he was ready to go.
He kicked off the game with a 15-yard touchdown run on the Chiefs’ first drive. Mahomes mentioned he didn’t think he was “setting a tone,” but it definitely did as the Chiefs secured a 27-19 win, inching closer to clinching the top seed in the AFC playoffs.
After the game, Mahomes expressed how much he values pushing through tough times. He said, “I ask a lot from the guys around me, so if I’m asking them to play through pain, I’ve got to do it too.”
He’s all about being there for his teammates and making sure they have a shot at winning. Mahomes is determined to compete and help his team succeed, no matter the circumstances.
Now, he’ll be managing that ankle as they prepare for the upcoming game against the Steelers. If they win or if the Bills lose to the Patriots, they’ll secure that No. 1 seed.
