Patrick Mahomes and his Mom Surprise and Melting NFL Hearts
Patrick Mahomes didn’t have a peaceful night on Saturday getting the win for Kansas after suffering a high ankle sprain in the game. The Chiefs beat Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-20 to advance to their fifth straight AFC Championship appearance. However, for Patrick’s mother, the game was a rollercoaster of emotions.
Mothers worry. More so if her quarterback son is always facing bigger and stronger men rushing and blitzing him. And her worst fears almost came true on Saturday night when Patrick Mahomes limped his way out of the field into the locker room after the end of the first quarter. However, fans know how things ultimately ended.
Randi Mahomes barely misses any of Patrick’s home games at Arrowhead. And this week’s visuals were understandably hard for her to digest. Late in the first quarter, Mahomes fell down to a Jags’ rush tackle. Jacksonville linebacker Arden Key landed on Mahomes’ ankle, twisting his knees and bringing the NFL passing yards and TD leader down. Mahomes limped and somehow finished the first quarter before being rushed off for x-rays against his wishes.
Backup QB Chad Henne stepped up in the 2nd quarter in his absence. And Mahomes returned for the second half and mesmerized fans with his heroics. However, Chiefs Kingdom was worried about Patrick’s status after the game, when the adrenaline had finally settled. And fortunately, the Mahomes family shared some good news on Twitter.
Awwwwww ❤️ I hope Patrick is feeling better.
