Kansas City Chiefs ace Patrick Mahomes cracks cheeky ankle injury joke after Super Bowl win

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes claimed only his golf game would be affected by his ankle injury after winning Super Bowl LVII on Sunday night.

On Sunday night in Arizona, Reid’s Chiefs secured a dramatic 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in a game which will go down as an all-time classic. Kansas City quarterback Mahomes threw for 182 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Chiefs to a sensational win, which was secured by kicker Harrison Butker with just eight seconds remaining.

Mahomes admirably soldiered through his high ankle sprain to lead the Chiefs to victory, as he rushed for 44 yards on six attempts including a crucial 26-yard on the game-winning fourth quarter drive. The 24-year-old was diagnosed with a Grade 2 sprain against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs.
