Patrick Mahomes has insisted he will play through any and all injuries in order to take part in Super Bowl LVII.
In the first quarter of the their Divisional Round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Mahomes suffered a high-ankle sprain as he was tackled by Corey Peters and Arden Key, who fell on the quarterback’s lower right leg. Mahomes - the frontrunner for the league’s MVP award - fell awkwardly and writhed in pain on the turf.
Mahomes went to the locker room while backup Chad Henne briefly took control of the Chiefs offence before he returned in the second half. He soldiered on to lead the Chiefs to victory regardless before doing the same in the AFC Championship against the Cincinnati Bengals.
