The Kansas City Chiefs won on Sunday and advanced to their third straight AFC championship game. And nobody was talking about that after the game.
Patrick Mahomes, considered by many to be the NFL’s best player, suffered an injury in Sunday’s AFC divisional-round playoff game against the Cleveland Browns. He was hit on a called run play and was unsteady as he got up. The Chiefs said he was being evaluated for a concussion and ruled him out shortly after.
Kansas City survived, barely, getting past Cleveland, 22-17. The Chiefs came up with a few big plays in the fourth quarter, most notably a fourth-down pass from Chad Henne to Tyreek Hill with a little more than a minute to go to advance. Moving on to the AFC title game is a great accomplishment and would normally be celebrated, but concerns about the franchise quarterback took precedent.
The Chiefs play the Buffalo Bills next Sunday with a Super Bowl berth on the line, and all of the focus leading up to the game will be on Mahomes and whether he’ll be cleared to play.
The Chiefs won Sunday, and it seemed like an afterthought.
