Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered what appeared to be a serious left knee injury late in Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, sparking widespread concern across the NFL.

According to team sources, Mahomes will undergo an MRI to determine the full extent of the damage. Head coach Andy Reid didn’t sugarcoat the situation afterward, admitting the injury “didn’t look good” — a comment that has fans bracing for bad news.

The incident occurred in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, as Mahomes was hit awkwardly on a scramble. He stayed down in visible pain before being helped off the field, avoiding putting much weight on his left leg. Trainers immediately applied ice and stabilized the knee on the sideline.

While official results are pending, early indications suggest the Chiefs will take an extremely cautious approach, knowing the stakes as the playoffs approach. If Mahomes misses significant time, it could drastically reshape the AFC playoff picture and the Chiefs’ quest for another Super Bowl run.
