Patrick Mahomes (Photo via Twitter)The Kansas City Chiefs may have won today, but it felt like a loss after an injury to Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes exited Sunday’s game with an ankle injury.
As he attempted a pass on fourth down with the Chiefs up double digits, the quarterback was wrapped up from behind by Browns’ Dalvin Tomlinson and hit by Mike Hall Jr. in the front, which caused him to twist awkwardly as he hit the field.
Mahomes stayed down on the ground for some time before he ultimately limped to the sidelines. Carson Wentz replaced him after suffering the injury in the fourth quarter of the Chiefs’ 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns.
After the game, things only looked worse as cameras caught Patrick Mahomes being carted from the locker room so he wouldn’t have any weight on his injured ankle.

Patrick Mahomes Not Expected To Miss Any Games
All eyes in Kansas City are going to be on Patrick Mahomes’ left ankle after the Chiefs quarterback was forced out of Sunday’s 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns with an ankle injury following a brutal hit from the front and the back.
Not only was Mahomes slow to get up, but he could barely walk as he headed off the field.
The Chiefs announced that Mahomes suffered an ankle injury and would be questionable to return, but he never returned to the game.
“It’s not broken, it’s sore,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said following the game.
He is not expected to miss any time as the Chiefs will play against the Texans on Saturday.
“You Make Millions, Suck It Up”: NFL Fans Are Blasting Patrick Mahomes Over His Recent Complaints

Patrick Mahomes is not happy about the Kansas City Chiefs’ brutal schedule.
It’s not the opponents but rather the short time period.
For as much as the NFL preaches about valuing player safety, the schedule the league threw together for certain teams might cause a lot of injuries.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ schedule is brutal, as they will play their next three games in 11 days.
Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t hold back when asked about the scheduling.
Mahomes isn’t upset about playing on Christmas as the team hopes to redeem themselves from last year, but he made it clear that “It is not a good feeling.”
“I’m excited to play on Christmas to hopefully get back from what we did last year, but you never want to play this many games in this short of time. It’s just not great for your body. But at the end of the day, it’s your job, your profession. You have to come to work and do it.”

The Chiefs head to Cleveland for this Sunday’s game against the Browns, then return to Arrowhead for a Saturday home game against the Texans, and then head to Pittsburgh for a Christmas Day game against the Steelers.
Unfortunately for Patrick Mahomes, there weren’t too many people who cared to hear him complain.
“Does he get paid to play,” asked a fan. “He needs to shut his face!”
“You make millions. Suck it up,” wrote another.
“You’re a highly paid professional. Suck it up buttercup,” wrote another.
Another fan told him not to worry since the refs would be on his side: “Don’t worry, the refs will give you those games anyway.”
“He has a 400 million dollar contract he will be fine,” posted a fan.
“Try working 12 hr shifts every day for 37 days straight, then come cry to me,” wrote one final fan about Patrick Mahomes’ complaints.
