The Kansas City Chiefs secured a 6-2 record with a victory against the New York Jets on Sunday. The star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, sustained an elbow injury early in the first half when he was hit by New York rookie pass rusher David Bailey, causing him to drop the football. Mahomes remained on the ground for an extended period before walking off with the team's medical staff.
After the play, Mahomes kept his arm loose on the sidelines, and returned to the game just before halftime to keep the Chiefs in field goal range. The Jets missed two crucial field goal attempts, allowing the Chiefs to lead by two points at halftime. In the second half, Kansas City scored 21 unanswered points, ultimately winning 35-12.
Following the game, Mahomes underwent an MRI, which confirmed that he did not suffer a major injury. He is expected to be monitored for pain and swelling over the next few days, but so far, the outcome is positive. The Chiefs will next face the Atlanta Falcons next week.
