Patrick Mahomes gives Kansas City Chiefs an injury worry
Share:
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was forced off with an apparent ankle injury in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl champions’ 21-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns. With his team leading by 14 points, Mahomes came down awkwardly from a jump and got caught underneath two opposition players and limped to the sidelines after a pause.
Mahomes had gone 19-of-38 for 159 yards and two touchdowns before he was replaced by Carson Wentz. The Chiefs had already secured their play-off spot and clinched the AFC West title, but are still pushing for top seeding in the post-season. Jets wide receiver Davante Adams became the 12th player to reach 100 career touchdown catches in the third quarter of their 32-25 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The 31-year-old once again linked up with quarterback Aaron Rodgers to give his side a 17-16 lead following Anders Carlson’s extra point. It was also the 80th TD Adams has caught from Rodgers, who went 16-for-30 with three touchdowns, while running back Breece Hall scored the decisive TD with just over a minute remaining.
The Washington Commanders staved off a late New Orleans surge to claim a narrow 20-19 victory over the Saints. The Commanders held a 14-0 advantage at half time, but two Blake Grupe field goals and Foster Moreau’s touchdown had drawn the hosts within one in the last second.
