Andy Reid Announces Patrick Mahomes’ Injury Diagnosis as Chiefs HC Doesn’t Hold Back After Playoffs Elimination

The 6-7 Chiefs welcomed the Chargers to Arrowhead, desperate to take a crucial step forward in their flickering playoff hopes, only to stumble into 6-8 territory instead. Los Angeles edged out a 16-13 victory, handing Kansas City a deflating defeat. This loss marks a rare and bitter milestone for Patrick Mahomes: for the first time in his career, the star quarterback will miss the playoffs entirely.

“I don’t know, but it didn’t look good,” said head coach Andy Reid about Mahomes’ left knee injury.

Mahomes suffered a scary injury to his left knee in the fourth quarter when Chargers defensive end Da’Shawn Hand tackled him hard from behind. The quarterback immediately grabbed at his knee after being rolled up awkwardly, staying down on the sideline as the Chiefs’ medical staff rushed to help him. He then walked off to the locker room with assistance, handing the reins to Gardner Minshew for his first start with Kansas City.
