Chad Henne secures unlikely NFL record at 37 after Patrick Mahomes injury

Patrick Mahomes may have been forced off the field for the Kansas City Chiefs, but his loss was back-up quarterback Chad Henne's gain.

The Chiefs suffered a major scare at the end of the first quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars, as Mahomes went down clutching his right ankle following a sack. Mahomes then went to the locker room and was declared questionable to return, meaning 37-year-old Henne stepped in.
