The worst thing that could have happened to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII was a Patrick Mahomes injury, and that’s what appeared to occur near the end of the first half Sunday night. Mahomes limped off the field after appearing to reinjure his right ankle and could be seen writhing in pain on the bench while being attended to by the team’s medical staff.
Backup quarterback Chad Henne could be seen warming up, but once the team went back in locker room, Mahomes put mind over matter in regard to his ailing ankle.
“Rick, I’m fine,” Mahomes told Chiefs VP of sports medicine and performance Rick Burkholder, per Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer.
