Patrick Mahomes has 3-word message after Chiefs QB returns from leg injury and defeats Texans - Source: Imagn
Patrick Mahomes was listed on the injury report this week for the Chiefs' matchup against the Texans after suffering an ankle injury in their last game against the Browns. He had to leave the field that day and Carson Wentz came in to relieve him. There were some doubts he would come and play in Week 16.
On top of that, the Chiefs were facing the Texans, who had also punched their postseason ticket as the AFC South Champions. Houston had a similar playing style to Kansas City and it was supposed to be a close game. Some predictions even had the visitors winning at Arrowhead.
With the Chiefs sitting at 13-1 prior to this match and the Buffalo Bills two games behind at 11-3, they needed to win to stay ahead. And they did so with a 27-19 victory that saw them climb to 14-1 and close to notching that top spot in the AFC.
