Patrick Mahomes gives Chiefs huge injury scare after freak accident in Raiders game

admin

Patrick Mahomes was left in pain after one of his Kansas City Chiefs teammates accidentally crushed his hand during their clash with the Las Vegas Raiders.

In the third quarter of the Black Friday fixture, Mahomes was laying on the floor after taking a hit before Chiefs center Creed Humphrey tripped over him and fell directly on his hand.

Luckily, however, Humphrey’s knee landed on the Kansas City quarterback’s non-throwing hand. 

And despite appearing in discomfort as he headed off the field before a fourth down, Mahomes was able to return in time for his team’s next drive.

Chiefs fans were fearing the worst when he was seen leaving the field while looking down at his left hand, which appeared limp after the accidental blow from Humphrey.

Luckily for Kansas City the pain was not too serious for him to leave the game early, though it remains to be seen whether there is any significant damage to his hand.

Prior to the accident, Mahomes further cemented his legacy as arguably the greatest player in Chiefs history.

The 29-year-old registered his 238th touchdown pass in the game at Arrowhead Stadium, meaning he is now Kansas City’s all-time leader in that department after surpassing Hall of Famer Len Dawson.

He even took a hit while picking out Justin Watson in the end zone for six, which helped Andy Reid’s team take a 10-3 lead into the halftime break after a successful conversion.

Mahomes already stakes a claim to being the greatest in Chiefs history after guiding the team to a second consecutive Super Bowl last season. 

He is already Kansas City’s all-time leader in passing yards after racking up over 31,000 and counting, while at the time of writing he is just nine wins shy of passing Dawson again to become their winningest quarterback.
